The United Auto Workers union, which unites US auto workers, has vowed to expand the country’s ongoing strike if there is no progress in negotiations with employers. In this respect reports Reuters.
Union representatives are bargaining with management at automakers Ford, General Motors and Stellantis (which includes Chrysler) to raise wages by 40 percent. Employers suggested increasing this rate by 20%.
Simultaneous strikes against GM, Ford and Stellantis began on September 15. 18.3 thousand people participate in them – this is about 12% of union members. If the strike expands, the union’s potential targets will include factories producing large pickup trucks and SUVs, as well as engine and transmission factories. A widespread strike at pickup truck and SUV factories could cost automakers billions of dollars in revenue, Reuters reported.
