Terry Dittes, the General Motors-UAW vice president who led the union's bargaining with GM during a 40-day strike in 2019, plans to retire this summer.
"The UAW has changed my life, and some of my greatest memories occurred while serving as UAW staff," he said in a letter to members viewed by Automotive News.
Dittes, 63, plans to retire July 31 after the UAW Constitutional Convention. A replacement will be nominated at the convention. After that, the new vice president of the GM department will be elected by members, UAW spokesman Brian Rothenberg said.
