  • Ford and UAW reach deal

    Ford and UAW reach deal
    Oct 27 2023
    The United Auto Workers (UAW) union reached a tentative labor deal on Wednesday with Ford Motor, the first of Detroit's Big Three car manufacturers to negotiate a settlement to strikes joined by 45,000 workers since mid-September.
    The proposed accord, which UAW's leadership must still approve, provides a 25% wage hike over the 4-1/2-year contract, starting with an initial increase of 11%.
    The Ford deal, which could help create a template for settlements of parallel UAW strikes against General Motors (GM.N) and Chrysler parent Stellantis (STLAM.MI), would amount to total pay hikes of more than 33% when compounding and cost-of-living mechanisms are factored in, the UAW said.
    Here is a summary of the key news and events from the past 24 hours regarding the UAW strike:
    UAW President Shawn Fain said that the union has received new offers from Stellantis and General Motors, but that there is still more work to be done. Fain did not announce any new strike expansions on Friday, but he said that the union is prepared to strike for as long as it takes to reach a fair agreement.
    General Motors said that it is "disappointed" by the strike, but that it is committed to reaching an agreement with the union as quickly as possible. The company said that it has offered "an unprecedented economic package" to its workers, including a 23% wage increase and manufacturing commitments.
    The strike is ongoing, and it is unclear when it will end. The union and automakers are scheduled to resume negotiations on Saturday, October 28.
    In addition to the above, here are some other news and events from the past 24 hours regarding the UAW strike:
    The strike is having a significant impact on the auto industry. General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis have all shut down some or all of their production facilities. The strike is also impacting suppliers and other businesses that rely on the auto industry.
    The strike is also having a significant impact on workers. Many autoworkers are losing wages and benefits due to the strike.
    The strike is also having a significant impact on the economy. The strike is costing the auto industry billions of dollars, and it is also impacting other businesses and industries.
    The UAW strike is a major event in the United States. It is having a significant impact on the auto industry, workers, and the economy. It is unclear when the strike will end, but it is likely to have a lasting impact.

    UAW Strike update for 10-23-2023 - Momentum and Developments
    Oct 23 2023
    This is the UAW Strike podcast, and this is your update for October 20, 2023.
    the UAW strike has seen several developments, particularly in negotiations between the union and the automakers (Ford, GM, and Stellantis). Here's a detailed breakdown of the events and updates surrounding the UAW Strike:
    1. Negotiation Progress:
      • UAW leader Shawn Fain mentioned "serious movement" toward a deal with Stellantis and GM, although he emphasized that more could be achieved. Fain criticized Bill Ford for his comments earlier in the week and elucidated why UAW isn’t merely accepting the “record deal” in contract talks​.
      • On a separate occasion, Fain reiterated that while wage and benefit offers had been increased, he believed the union could gain more with continued negotiations. He didn't announce any more factories joining the strike but warned that the expansion of strikes could be announced anytime, depending on negotiation progress​.
    2. Companies' Offers:
      • All three companies offered a pay increase of 23% over four and a half years. Other offers included elimination of wage tiers, wage progression, cost of living adjustments, enhanced profit sharing, conversion of temporary workers to full time, job security provisions, work-life balance improvements, and retirement benefits. However, there were variations in offers among the three companies, such as differences in wage progression periods and profit-sharing eligibility for temporary employees​.
    3. UAW Demands:
      • The UAW demands included significant double-digit pay raises, elimination of all wage tiers, a 90-day progression to top rate, cost of living adjustments, enhanced profit-sharing formula, conversion of temporary employees to full time, job security, improved work-life balance, and retirement security for all members.
    4. Strike Expansion and Strategy:
      • As of October 20, about 34,000 of the union’s 146,000 auto workers were on strike at 44 facilities across the U.S. There was a mention of a shift in strike strategy to make walkout plans more financially burdening for the companies​.
    5. Impact:
      • The strike had significant impacts such as layoffs among manufacturers, with Ford laying off 150 workers in Sterling Heights as of October 19​.
    6. Public Address:
      • Shawn Fain was expected to give an update on the strike during a Facebook Live event on October 20, although the details of this update were not provided.
    The situation portrays an ongoing tug of war between the UAW and the automakers, with negotiations seeing some progress, but the UAW pushing for more favorable terms.
