Tesla Clear Winner In 'Game Of Thrones' Battle Between UAW And Detroit's Big Three, Says Analyst
Portfolio Pulse from Shanthi Rexaline
The United Auto Workers union has gone on strike due to a lack of agreement on wage increases and benefits. Analysts have identified Tesla, Inc. as a potential beneficiary of the standoff between the union and Detroit's big three automakers - General Motors Corp., Ford Motor Co., and Stellantis N.V. The big three already pay workers 39% more than Tesla, and this gap is expected to increase. A 10-day strike could cost carmakers, suppliers, and workers over $5 billion. The strike could also delay the EV ambitions of GM and Ford.
