  • This is the UAW Strike podcast, and this is your update for October 20, 2023.
    the UAW strike has seen several developments, particularly in negotiations between the union and the automakers (Ford, GM, and Stellantis). Here's a detailed breakdown of the events and updates surrounding the UAW Strike:
    1. Negotiation Progress:
      • UAW leader Shawn Fain mentioned "serious movement" toward a deal with Stellantis and GM, although he emphasized that more could be achieved. Fain criticized Bill Ford for his comments earlier in the week and elucidated why UAW isn’t merely accepting the “record deal” in contract talks​.
      • On a separate occasion, Fain reiterated that while wage and benefit offers had been increased, he believed the union could gain more with continued negotiations. He didn't announce any more factories joining the strike but warned that the expansion of strikes could be announced anytime, depending on negotiation progress​.
    2. Companies' Offers:
      • All three companies offered a pay increase of 23% over four and a half years. Other offers included elimination of wage tiers, wage progression, cost of living adjustments, enhanced profit sharing, conversion of temporary workers to full time, job security provisions, work-life balance improvements, and retirement benefits. However, there were variations in offers among the three companies, such as differences in wage progression periods and profit-sharing eligibility for temporary employees​.
    3. UAW Demands:
      • The UAW demands included significant double-digit pay raises, elimination of all wage tiers, a 90-day progression to top rate, cost of living adjustments, enhanced profit-sharing formula, conversion of temporary employees to full time, job security, improved work-life balance, and retirement security for all members.
    4. Strike Expansion and Strategy:
      • As of October 20, about 34,000 of the union’s 146,000 auto workers were on strike at 44 facilities across the U.S. There was a mention of a shift in strike strategy to make walkout plans more financially burdening for the companies​.
    5. Impact:
      • The strike had significant impacts such as layoffs among manufacturers, with Ford laying off 150 workers in Sterling Heights as of October 19​.
    6. Public Address:
      • Shawn Fain was expected to give an update on the strike during a Facebook Live event on October 20, although the details of this update were not provided.
    The situation portrays an ongoing tug of war between the UAW and the automakers, with negotiations seeing some progress, but the UAW pushing for more favorable terms.
