General Motors and the United Auto Workers have agreed on a four-year deal.

While details are expected to be released Monday, the UAW says it includes a $5,000 singing bonus, improvements to profit-sharing, new jobs, and better health benefits. However, the Associated Press reports, "it will increase the company's fixed costs by only a small amount."  Members are expected to vote on the plan in the next week.
