Deep dives
Key Points from the UAW Deal
The United Auto Workers (UAW) reached a tentative deal with the big three automakers, Ford, GM, and Stellantis, marking a major victory for workers who have been experiencing stagnant wages. The deal includes a 25% wage hike over the next four and a half years, the elimination of the two-tier worker structure, and allowances for cost-of-living adjustments. It also grants unions the right to strike in response to plant closures. These agreements, if ratified, would put an end to a six-week-long strike involving nearly 50,000 workers. While celebrating the victories for workers, some express concerns about the potential long-term impact on the auto industry and its ability to compete.
