Final Offer documents the contentious 1984 contract negotiations between the Canadian section of the United Auto Workers (UAW) and General Motors. As the negotiations develop, the failure of the U.S. UAW headquarters to support the militancy of the Canadian section
eventually prompts Canadian UAW leader Bob White to lead a split, creating the separate Canadian Auto Workers Union (CAW). The film gives an unprecedented close up view of collective bargaining sessions and internal UAW politics.
