The offers include a $50,000 payment for early retirement and $75,000 to $115,000 for buyouts depending on seniority. Workers also get a $25,000 voucher for a vehicle.

The new offers apply to the Conner Avenue plant in Detroit; the St. Louis North and South assembly plants; the Kenosha, Wisconsin, engine factory; the Twinsburg, Ohio, parts stamping plant and the Sterling Heights, Michigan, assembly plant.
