Auto workers' demands: better quality of life and pay increase
The striking auto workers are demanding better quality of life, including higher pay and more paid time off. They have worked long hours during the pandemic and want to see their sacrifices reflected in their wages and benefits. The union initially asked for a 40% pay increase, but has adjusted their demand to the mid-30s range. They also want a shorter workweek for the same pay, improved retiree benefits, and the elimination of the tier system that pays newer workers significantly less than their counterparts.
