SEOUL (Reuters) - Unionised workers at General Motors Co's <GM.N> South Korean unit voted to approve a tentative wage deal agreed with the automaker, the union said on Thursday.

On Monday, the Detroit carmaker's South Korean unit reached a preliminary deal with its local labour union, winning concessions on pay and bonuses. That led the company to drop a plan to consider filing for bankruptcy.

A total of 67.3 percent of 10,223 union voters accepted the agreement.
