As threats of a strike in the auto industry loom, General Motors employees in Arlington arrived for their afternoon shift Wednesday afternoon. The United Auto Workers Union or UAW’s contracts with the big three automakers, General Motors, Ford Motor Company and Stellantis are set to expire Thursday at 11:59 p.m.
UAW's President Shawn Fain has rejected all offers. The union has continued to ask for several items including a 46% increase over four years, a reduced workweek of 32 hours, and more retirement benefits.“September 14 is a deadline not a reference point,” Fain said. “They are staring down a well-organized and pissed-off workforce that’s ready to what it takes to win a strong contract.
According to Dr.Ashish Sedai, Assistant Professor of Economics at UT Arlington, there are advantages to local strikes that include targeted pressure, negotiation flexibility, cost savings, and minimizing the impact on other workers.
