The UAW is threatening to add more members to the picket line on Friday as talks between the union and Detroit's Big Three continue.
In addition to not expanding strike targets Friday, Shawn Fain said the union and GM had come to an agreement to include the battery plants in the UAW's National Manufacturing Agreement.The united autoworkers union said it would not expand any strikes Friday after announcing a major breakthrough in negotiations with General Motors at the last minute.
"We've been told for months this is impossible. We've been told the EV future was a race to the bottom. We called their bluff. This cannot be understated," said Fain. Fain said there was still gaps in wages and cost-of-living-adjustments between the two parties, but both were moving in the right direction. Wearing an "Eat The Rich" shirt, Fain touted gains its made with Ford, Stellantis, and GM Friday, praising wage increase proposals up to at least 20%, a restoration of COLA protections previously set in 2007 from two of the automakers, and a reduced timeline of reaching full pay status.
