The United Auto Workers union is in talks with Detroit automakers about recall costs taking a bite out of members’ profit-sharing checks, according to President Dennis Williams.

Union officials, he said, are “in continued discussions about the profit-sharing versus the recall,” as automakers spend hundreds of millions, if not billions, of dollars this year to fix and repair cars and trucks.

Williams, speaking with news media Monday at the UAW’s Solidarity House headquarters in Detroit, did not provide details about the discussions. It’s likely the union is arguing that the cost of the recalls — many of which are older models — shouldn’t detrimentally impact members’ annual profit-sharing checks. Payments are based on each of the automakers’ North American profits.
