UAW President Says Tesla Is Not The Enemy In Auto Strikes: 'They're The UAW Members Of The Future'
Portfolio Pulse from Chris Katje
The United Auto Workers (UAW) union is striking against Ford Motor Company (F), General Motors Company (GM), and Stellantis NV (STLA) seeking higher pay and better benefits. The strike could benefit non-union automotive companies like Toyota Motors (TM) and Tesla Inc (TSLA) as increased wages for autoworkers could pressure margins and necessitate price increases for the striking companies. UAW President Shawn Fain hinted that Tesla, the only major North American automaker without a union presence, could be the union's future target.
