CEO Jim Farley for increasing executive compensation while not adequately addressing worker concerns amid the ongoing United Auto Workers (UAW) union strike. The UAW demands include up to a 40% increase in general pay over four years, end to varying tiers of wages, a shorter workweek with full pay, and restoration of traditional defined-benefit pensions. General Motors Co. and Ford have both proposed a 20% boost in pay, while Stellantis NV made a 17.5% offer.
