UAW Strike Impact? General Motors Not Spending On Super Bowl Commercials
Portfolio Pulse from Chris Katje
General Motors Company (GM) has decided not to spend on Super Bowl LVIII commercials, a move that may be related to cost-cutting measures following a UAW strike. The strike could lead to billions in losses for Detroit's big three automakers, including GM, and has resulted in increased wages for UAW employees. GM's CEO Mary Barra has announced delays in electric vehicle launches and cost-cutting initiatives. Stellantis (STLA) and Ford Motor Company (F) were also targeted by UAW strikes, with Ford's CEO expressing a preference for vehicle updates over Super Bowl ads.
