UAW Strike

The head of the Center for Automotive Research, Alan Amici, was not surprised that the Toledo Assembly Complex was a target of the UAW strike because of the popular products made there.

“If we don’t make serious progress, by noon on Friday, Sept. 22, more locals will be called on to stand up and join the strike."

There were days Local 14 members didn’t know how long they’d be on the picket lines.

In a sign of the potential economic and political consequences of a long strike, Biden is sending two top administration officials to meet with both sides.

Officials with the UAW said it had “reasonably productive conversations with Ford” and meetings with GM Sunday, but still no deal was made.

According to studies, the typical pay gap at S&P 500 companies is currently 186-1. In 1965, the CEO-to-Worker pay ratio was just 15-1.

UAW President Shawn Fain selected Local 12 as one of first three units nationally selected to go on strike.

Members of the United Auto Workers union began picketing at a General Motors assembly plant in Wentzville, Missouri, a Ford factory in Wayne, Michigan, near Detroit, and a Stellantis Jeep plant in Toledo, Ohio.

With union members at three different plants, including Toledo Jeep, now walking the picket lines, we take a look at how quickly we could see the ripple effect on the auto supply chain.

UAW leaders are starting their strike against the Big 3 automakers by sending only about 9% of their membership to the picket lines.

When workers hit the picket line to strike, they stopped getting paid. Health experts say the impact of a strike can take a toll on their mental health.

Biden said he is sending Acting Labor Secretary Julie Su and senior aide Gene Sperling to Detroit to help reach a “win-win” contract for the companies and their employees.

The negotiations have been the most public in U.S. history, putting pressure on both sides to reach an agreement.

Members of United Auto Workers Local 14 gathered this afternoon as UAW retirees joined them for their annual picnic.

Local union leaders representing General Motors and Stellantis workers in Toledo are preparing for a potential strike.

We’re hours away from a potential UAW strike against the Big 3 automakers.

The strategy comes as the pace of talks with all three automakers picked up with less than two days left before contracts with the union expire at 11:59 p.m. on Thursday.

With the UAW’s current contract expiring in just 48 hours, members are preparing for a hopefully temporary time of limited pay.

A potential 146,000 members are expected to walk out if the UAW strike becomes a reality at the end of this week, which would halt production, decrease inventories, and drive prices up.

The United Auto Workers union voted overwhelmingly to let union leaders call strikes against Detroit companies.

UAW President Shawn Fain is set to announce the national results on Aug. 25 at 11 a.m. on Facebook Live.

According to UAW Local 14 leaders, 94% of the membership voted in favor of using a strike as a bargaining tool if contract negotiations with the Big Three stall next month.

Results on the vote are expected Thursday.

The auto industry is a driving force of the economy but work could come to a halt if the big three and UAW don't agree on a contract.

It follows months of contract negotiations between UAW and the Detroit Big 3 automakers: Stellantis, Ford and GM.

Contentious UAW-Big 3 negotiations could be on the horizon
