LANSING, Mich. — The easy part of the UAW's contract talks with General Motors is done and now the hard work begins.

Leaders from both sides met for the traditional handshake to start negotiations Tuesday.

The UAW's contracts with the Big 3 end in September.

Health care costs, the role of temporary workers and the fate of several GM plants with no cars to build are expected to be the main issues.
