In a Facebook post on Thursday, the UAW Local 598 said 51.8% of votes cast were against the proposed deal.
The vote signals that approval of the deal, which is set to raise costs significantly for GM, is not guaranteed.
Union workers are voting on contracts from each of Chrysler-owner Stellantis (STLAM.MI), General Motors and Ford Motor (F.N), after the first coordinated strike against Detroit's Big Three automakers.
