Pay raises, along with shortened progression time for production associates at Honda's U.S. facilities are coming in the wake of the strike.

United Auto Workers members who were hired prior to the 2008 financial crisis have pensions, those brought on since have received 401(k) plans instead.

The Detroit automaker will offer the workers lump sum payments and other compensation based on tenure.
