ROANOKE, Ind. (WOWO): Local GM workers are voting on a new contract.

About 4,000 local UAW members at the truck plant near Roanoke will finish up voting Thursday morning at 5 a.m. The four-year deal covers more than 52,000 workers at 62 plants including locally and in Defiance, Ohio.

Local union officials say there's something for everyone, but there were concerns there weren't enough increase in wages after 12 years of contracts including significant concessions.

Workers at GM's Foundry in Defiance voted on the deal Tuesday.
