Detroit

The autoworkers’ union made an address to 150,000 employees at 13 manufacturers following its successful strike at Detroit’s Big Three

The company cuts the number of planned jobs by about one third to 1,700 from 2,500. The annual battery cell output will drop from enough for 400,000 vehicles per year to about 230,000

Of the four GM plants that went on strike, workers at only a large SUV plant in Arlington, Texas, approved the contract

Five large factories have turned down the four year and eight month deal by fairly large margins. Voting continues at Ford, where the deal is passing with 66.1%

The Democratic president wanted to show that his policies could deliver for workers, rather than repeat the decades of factory closures that had gutted parts of the Midwest

The agreements provide a blueprint for which cars and trucks they intend to build in the coming years and where they will do so

Job growth was solid enough to suggest that many companies still want to hire and that the economy remains sturdy

The contract with GM is similar to those reached by Ford and Stellantis. The deal will last four years and eight months and includes 25% general pay raises and cost of living adjustments

Jeep maker Stellantis has reached a tentative contract agreement with the United Auto Workers union that follows a template set earlier this week by Ford, two people with knowledge of the negotiations said Saturday

Nearly 17,000 striking workers at Ford left the picket lines when the agreement was announced Wednesday night and will return to work shortly

The deal would include cost-of-living pay increases that could lift the total pay raises above 30% and would be used as a model to seek similar contract settlements with GM and Stellantis

The additional plants further escalate a labor dispute that’s in its sixth week and now has about 46,000 union workers off the job

The company posted net income of more than $3 billion from July through September, down 7% from the same period last year due to lost production from the strike, and also increased warranty costs

Shawn Fain said Stellantis and GM have made wage offers that matched Ford’s 23% over the life of a four year contract, but insisted that the companies can go further

GM spokesman Kevin Kelly said the change has nothing to do with the ongoing four-week partial strike by members of the United Auto Workers union

Ford said the move puts about a dozen other facilities at risk, as well as parts supply plants that together employ over 100,000 people

Union president Shawn Fain defended his strike strategy on Friday: ‘Our strike is working, but we’re not there yet’

Stellantis was spared from the third round of strikes, which will spread to 7,000 union workers in Chicago and Lansing

‘Wall Street didn’t build this country, the middle class built this country, and unions built the middle class,’ the president said Tuesday. ‘You deserve what you’ve earned, and you’ve earned a hell of a lot more than you’re getting paid’

The president of the United States is going to Michigan on Tuesday to support UAW workers striking against General Motors, Ford and Stellantis

Autoworkers are fighting to stay in the middle class in a conflict that will have a far-reaching impact on labor, industry and politics

The president of the United States has picked up the gauntlet thrown down by the United Auto Workers union leader

The former president will bypass the second Republican presidential debate on Sept. 27 to instead visit striking autoworkers in Michigan, where he has looked to position himself as an ally of blue-collar workers

The hopes of this offer achieving a deal are low as a company spokeswoman said the offer primarily covered non-economic issues

In a video statement late Monday, United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain said more factories may be picketed if there is no significant progress in talks by the end of the week

The CEOs of the automakers earn between 281 and 365 times what an average employee makes in a year
