united auto workers

Former President Donald Trump, the leading Republican seeking to unseat Biden, is also courting autoworkers with a rally in Detroit.
The decision to hold back on striking more Ford facilities shows the flexibility behind the union's strategy.
The presidential hopeful called Reagan’s move a "great example," but it’s generally illegal to fire workers in private-sector work stoppages.
In 1981, Ronald Reagan set back the cause of labor for a generation. Biden has the chance to reverse that.
The former president argues that Joe Biden's support for the transition to electric vehicles has hurt union autoworkers.
Falling real wages and high corporate profits have fomented militancy on the picket lines at Ford, GM and Stellantis.
“Is that OK? Do you think that’s fair?” asked CNN's Jake Tapper on how much more the General Motors CEO makes compared to a "typical" GM worker.
“Those record profits have not been shared fairly, in my view, with those workers," he said.
Rather than strike all facilities at once, the union's president said they would wage strategic walkouts at Ford, GM and Stellantis if they don't reach deals.
Many observers believe a work stoppage of some kind looks increasingly likely.
