GM's Concessions Halt Additional Walkouts, UAW Says 'Strike Is Working, But We're Not There Yet'
Portfolio Pulse from Benzinga Neuro
The United Auto Workers (UAW) has suspended further strikes against the Detroit Three auto plants following a significant concession from General Motors (GM). GM has shown willingness to allow union contracts to cover workers at joint-venture battery plants. This could be a game-changer if Ford Motor (F) and Stellantis (STLA) decide to follow suit. The UAW is still pushing for higher wages, abolishing a two-tier wage system, and expanding unions to battery shops at all companies.
