Majority Of Americans Still Support UAW Strike Demands, Here's The Latest
Portfolio Pulse from Chris Katje
A new poll shows that the majority of Americans support the United Auto Workers (UAW) union's strike demands. The UAW is seeking new contracts with pay increases, a shortened workweek, and improved retirement benefits. General Motors Co (GM), Ford Motor Company (F), and Stellantis NV (STLA) are reportedly close to reaching a deal with the automakers proposing wage increases of 20% or more for union workers. The longer the strike lasts, the more it could impact the prices of vehicles for consumers and the margins for automotive companies.
