The United Auto Workers (UAW) began a targeted strike against the Detroit Three automakers (Ford, GM, Stellantis) on September 15. As of October 6, 2023, the UAW has made progress in negotiations, including 23% wage increase, getting COLA back to the 2007 formula, $20 raise for temps, shorter wage progression to full wages and more.
"Throughout this strike I've been heartened to see our members talking about and debating our strategy. We're thinking together about the core question of the labor movement, how do working-class people build the power we need to win what we deserve. So let's talk strategy. I want to be clear on one thing. Our goal throughout this process has always been to win a record contract. Our mission as your elected leadership is to fight like hell for the best possible deal."
