US on the road to industrial action

Available for over a year

Nearly 150 thousand U.S. auto workers are set to go on strike this week if General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis fail to meet their demands for big pay raises. Workers want a 46% pay increase and the restoration of concessions workers made years ago when the companies were in financial trouble. The United Auto Workers union, has threatened to strike any of the three companies that haven’t reached an agreement by the time its contract with the union expires.
