- United Auto Workers (UAW) President Shawn Fain said on Wednesday that the union is preparing to strike against the Detroit Three automakers, a day before four-year labour deals are set to expire.
Fain said the Detroit Three automakers had offered pay raises of as high as 20 per cent over four and a half years, but called the hikes inadequate. Coordinated strikes would mark the first-ever simultaneous labour stoppage at all three Detroit automakers and one of the largest U.S. industrial labor actions in recent years.
"We're making progress, but we're still very far apart on our key priorities," Fain said in a Facebook Live address, outlining a strategy to "create confusion" for the Detroit Three automakers with a series of strikes targeting individual U.S. plants if no deal is reached.
Ford Motor has proposed a 20 per cent hike in pay, General Motors 18 per cent, and Chrysler-parent Stellantis 17.5 per cent, according to Fain. That is less than half of the 40 per cent pay hikes the union has sought, including an immediate 20 per cent hike on ratification of a contract and 5 per cent annual hikes.

I’m a retired teamster.30 years the tier system doesn’t work.
repent
So happy that I don't have a union enslaving, me and taking dues out of my paycheck regardless of whether I approve of it or not. I have lived in Detroit my whole life and I see the unions as a corrupted bargaining monopoly.
🤬
Just so you know...the Unions and the things they fight for also help the non-unionized. Things like the 40 hr work week and stat pay, health and safety... all those things happened because of unions fighting for worker's rights. So while you may not be "enslaved" by the other rules under a collective agreement, don't think you don't get benefits. Else you'd likely be making less than minimum wage...or maybe they'll just outsource the job elsewhere.
My mother belongs to a union which paid for big part of her knee replacement surgery and my father's prostate cancer treatment. Her union dues were only $100 a month well worth it in the long run
rubbish, people are quite capable of negotiating as a group without the union hustle@@toxicslix
I will work for Ford, GM while these greedy people strike.
Is it time for companies to end unions, I know that there are thousands of people without jobs, they all would take lower wages than your current union workers.
Look into the heads of the unions,
Look into the 50 to 70 dollars that all union members pay and what they fund?
Look into the economic shock this causes and how all price spirals have been cause by greed such as this.
Get to work or there are people that want your jobs and will settle for less because they are currently making nothing and out of work
2 Hondas in my Garage, a car company I can count on. , for 25 hears now. Aint never going back to U.S. Companys.
A dying industry can’t afford strikes.
Wow! Here we go!
We should all do this from the smallest job to the biggest. Us labor workers should do this who is going to build their houses
And just create stagnation and inflation
Workers need to unite and topple the system. Wealth inequality has widened enough in the US. We must be strong if forced to do something wrong!
enslaving the worker isn't right.
you say having a job is enslaved????
@@garyjohnstone6422 no, I say that the evolution of capitalism leads to enslavement of the worker.
Get what you guys deserved!! 4th to respond
Strike strike strike
US auto workers make approximately $67.00 an hour or over $500 daily/$2500+ weekly and need 20% more they say! That would finish the American car industry off permanently.
We use to have an auto industry in Australia, the unions wrecked it. Labor input costs were 35% more than competing Asian manufacturing plants.
Higher prices mean more imported cars will replace American sales. Unions will shed jobs as they scale down so it is self-defeating for unions.
Unions are financially innumerate being socialist as they all are.
Socialists want to force America to its knees.
Let them strike - the vehicles they produce are over-priced and poor quality, so making less of them won't affect anybody!
Good! Too many cars on the road already!
Agree with you totally.
The UAW destroyed their members lives back in the seventies, and helped to create the American rust belt. And now their at it again. It’s amazing how short people’s memories are.
Correct, unions exist for the top boys to milk only.
What about demand and supply approach? If you you are not satisfied with salary then go search somewhere else, no? Other vice i see unions as terrorist organizations.
a good post. Destroyers of jobs, stand over thugs
Go on strike ,do not listen to the big three and double down on demanda and enlist the support of other great unions such as teamster
nothing great about them, all unions are destructive
Strike! Strike!
20% is unrealistic in this economic climate.
Leave them out until they starve while they further automate.
The monies given to Ukraine needs to returned to the American citizens ASAP !
Okay but that has got nothing to do with UAW workers. They aren’t paid by the government.
You don't recall the Government bailing out the big three ?
Government has everything to do with what is happening !
Do your research !
You don't get to question what I share !
