Unprecedented UAW Strike: 13,000 Workers Walk Off Job At ‘Big Three’ US Auto Plants

Posted by M. C. on September 15, 2023

Do these demands surprise?

How will this affect US located foreign car plants?

Look for big foreign made car tariffs to keep US car plants, if there will be any left, in business.

Update (0800ET):

General Motors CEO Mary Barra told CNBC in an interview:

“I’m frustrated and disappointed. We don’t need to be on strike right now.

“We have a very generous offer on the table right now. It’s historic. From a wage increase perspective, it’s the most significant offer we’ve had in our 115-year history.”

Barra warned:

Strikes will “not be good for the economy overall.” 

She added:

Strikes can be resolved “very quickly” after a “historic” offer from the automaker.

Still, GM’s offer and Ford’s and Stellantis’ offers are still well below the demand threshold for the union. 

… and then there’s this.
