- The United Auto Workers union on Friday expanded its coordinated U.S. strike, this time targeting a plant at General Motors and Ford Motor but refraining from an additional walkoutSaltWire's Atlantic regional weather forecast for September 29, 2023 | SaltWire - The United Auto Workers union on Friday expanded its coordinated U.S. strike, this time targeting a plant at General Motors and Ford Motor but refraining from an additional walkout from Chrysler parent Stellantis.
The union historically has picked one of the Detroit Three to negotiate with first as the so-called target that sets the pattern on which subsequent deals are based. This time, union President Shawn Fain targeted all three companies simultaneously. Fain has said Stellantis has made progress around cost-of-living allowance payments to offset inflation, as well as the right to strike over product commitments and plant closures.
The UAW wants strong salary increases, given the financial success of the automakers, citing generous executive payouts and large U.S. federal subsidies for EV sales.
