Is The Ford-UAW Deal The End For Tesla?
Portfolio Pulse from Erica Kollmann
Ford Motor Co has reached a tentative labor agreement with the United Auto Workers (UAW), increasing the top wage rate by over 30% to over $40 an hour. This could increase Ford's costs by more than $900 million in its first year. General Motors and Stellantis are still in negotiations with the UAW. The new labor agreement could impact Tesla Inc., which currently enjoys larger profit margins due to non-unionized workers. Tesla's stock is down more than 15% over the last month.
