-->"I think we'll see something worked out by early next week."

What will they have? Most likely a labor contract where the UAW runs a healthcare trust fund that will handle the claims of current and retired union members. GM will pay billions to set up the fund, and in exchange will no longer have the cost (projected at $51 billion in current and future claims) of covering the healthcare of UAW members. The sticking point right now is determining exactly how much GM will pay (between 60 and 70% of the projection), and how it will pay for that fund, with stock or with cash.
