The United Auto Workers (UAW) union reached a tentative labor deal on Wednesday with Ford Motor, the first of Detroit's Big Three car manufacturers to negotiate a settlement to strikes joined by 45,000 workers since mid-September.
The proposed accord, which UAW's leadership must still approve, provides a 25% wage hike over the 4-1/2-year contract, starting with an initial increase of 11%.
The Ford deal, which could help create a template for settlements of parallel UAW strikes against General Motors (GM.N) and Chrysler parent Stellantis (STLAM.MI), would amount to total pay hikes of more than 33% when compounding and cost-of-living mechanisms are factored in, the UAW said.
Here is a summary of the key news and events from the past 24 hours regarding the UAW strike:
UAW President Shawn Fain said that the union has received new offers from Stellantis and General Motors, but that there is still more work to be done. Fain did not announce any new strike expansions on Friday, but he said that the union is prepared to strike for as long as it takes to reach a fair agreement.
General Motors said that it is "disappointed" by the strike, but that it is committed to reaching an agreement with the union as quickly as possible. The company said that it has offered "an unprecedented economic package" to its workers, including a 23% wage increase and manufacturing commitments.
The strike is ongoing, and it is unclear when it will end. The union and automakers are scheduled to resume negotiations on Saturday, October 28.
In addition to the above, here are some other news and events from the past 24 hours regarding the UAW strike:
The strike is having a significant impact on the auto industry. General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis have all shut down some or all of their production facilities. The strike is also impacting suppliers and other businesses that rely on the auto industry.
The strike is also having a significant impact on workers. Many autoworkers are losing wages and benefits due to the strike.

This is the UAW Strike podcast, and this is your update for October 20, 2023.
the UAW strike has seen several developments, particularly in negotiations between the union and the automakers (Ford, GM, and Stellantis). Here's a detailed breakdown of the events and updates surrounding the UAW Strike:Negotiation Progress:UAW leader Shawn Fain mentioned "serious movement" toward a deal with Stellantis and GM, although he emphasized that more could be achieved. Fain criticized Bill Ford for his comments earlier in the week and elucidated why UAW isn’t merely accepting the “record deal” in contract talks.On a separate occasion, Fain reiterated that while wage and benefit offers had been increased, he believed the union could gain more with continued negotiations. He didn't announce any more factories joining the strike but warned that the expansion of strikes could be announced anytime, depending on negotiation progress.Companies' Offers:All three companies offered a pay increase of 23% over four and a half years. Other offers included elimination of wage tiers, wage progression, cost of living adjustments, enhanced profit sharing, conversion of temporary workers to full time, job security provisions, work-life balance improvements, and retirement benefits. However, there were variations in offers among the three companies, such as differences in wage progression periods and profit-sharing eligibility for temporary employees.UAW Demands:The UAW demands included significant double-digit pay raises, elimination of all wage tiers, a 90-day progression to top rate, cost of living adjustments, enhanced profit-sharing formula, conversion of temporary employees to full time, job security, improved work-life balance, and retirement security for all members.Strike Expansion and Strategy:As of October 20, about 34,000 of the union’s 146,000 auto workers were on strike at 44 facilities across the U.S. There was a mention of a shift in strike strategy to make walkout plans more financially burdening for the companies.Impact:The strike had significant impacts such as layoffs among manufacturers, with Ford laying off 150 workers in Sterling Heights as of October 19.Public Address:Shawn Fain was expected to give an update on the strike during a Facebook Live event on October 20, although the details of this update were not provided.The situation portrays an ongoing tug of war between the UAW and the automakers, with negotiations seeing some progress, but the UAW pushing for more favorable terms.

This is your UAW strike podcast, and this is the update for 10-16-2023.
In today’s segment, we delve into the ongoing saga of the UAW strike against major automakers. Here’s a summary of the significant occurrences from the past three days.
October 13 marked the expansion of the United Auto Workers strike against General Motors and Stellantis, extending to additional plants across Missouri, Ohio, and Michigan. As we step into the fifth week of the strike, over 45,000 workers remain idled. The core of the dispute revolves around demands for improved wages, benefits, and job security from the union, while the automakers seek concessions to counterbalance the rising costs associated with electric vehicles and other technological advancements.
On October 14, President Joe Biden voiced his support for the striking workers, encouraging both factions to forge a "fair and equitable" resolution. The day saw the UAW orchestrating a rally in Detroit, amplifying the call for a better deal from the automakers. A notable concession emerged from General Motors, who agreed to establish electric vehicle battery plants under a UAW contract. However, the union deemed the offer insufficient, vowing to continue the strike.
The narrative shifted slightly on October 15, with the UAW declaring a pause on further strike expansions following GM’s concession. The union acknowledged "significant progress" in the discussions with GM and Stellantis, albeit with more ground to cover. Meanwhile, Ford, untouched by the strike thus far, announced its readiness to negotiate with the UAW upon the expiration of its contract in December.
The ongoing UAW strike, now stretching into its fifth week, casts a long shadow over the auto industry. The production cutbacks and idled plants at GM and Stellantis are bleeding millions daily from the companies’ coffers. The union, despite facing financial strains, remains steadfast in securing a favorable deal for its members, against the backdrop of soaring living costs and robust profits reported by the automakers.
The road to resolution remains shrouded in uncertainty, with substantial pressure mounted on both camps to arrive at a compromise. The Biden administration continues to play a close hand in the negotiations, urging a fair deal to assuage all parties involved.
That wraps up the major unfolds and events from October 13 to 16 concerning the UAW strike.

It is unclear when the UAW strike will end. Both sides are digging in their heels, and it is possible that the strike could drag on for weeks or even months. -

On Friday, September 22, the United Auto Workers (UAW) expanded its strike against General Motors (GM) and Stellantis, adding 38 parts distribution centers across the United States to the walkout. The strike, which began on September 15, now includes over 18,000 workers at 41 facilities.
The UAW is demanding better wages, benefits, and job security from GM and Stellantis. The union is also seeking more protection for temporary workers and a greater role in decision-making at the automakers.
The strike has had a significant impact on the auto industry, with GM and Stellantis announcing temporary layoffs at several plants. The strike has also caused delays in the production of new vehicles.
The UAW has said that it is willing to negotiate with GM and Stellantis, but that it will not back down on its demands. The automakers have said that they are committed to reaching an agreement with the union, but that they need more time to negotiate.
The strike is the first against the Detroit Three automakers since 2019. It is also the largest strike by the UAW since 2011.
What to Expect Next
It is unclear how long the UAW strike will last. Both sides have said that they are committed to reaching an agreement, but they remain far apart on several key issues.
The strike is likely to have a significant impact on the auto industry, and it could also have a ripple effect on the overall economy. The strike could also lead to higher prices for new vehicles.
Consumers should be prepared for the possibility of delays in the delivery of new vehicles if the strike continues

The United Auto Workers (UAW) is expected to announce Friday whether it will expand its strike against the "Big Three" automakers: General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis. The strike, which began on September 15, currently involves over 12,000 workers at plants in Missouri, Ohio, and Michigan.
The UAW has threatened to expand the strike unless there is progress in contract negotiations. The union is seeking higher wages, improved benefits, and more job security. The automakers have offered raises and other concessions, but the UAW says the offers are not enough.
If the UAW expands the strike, it could have a significant impact on the auto industry and the economy. The "Big Three" automakers employ hundreds of thousands of workers in the United States and produce millions of vehicles each year. A prolonged strike could lead to production cuts and layoffs, and could also disrupt the supply chain for auto parts and other goods.

The Detroit Three automakers have acknowledged that the strike is having a negative impact on their businesses, but they have also said that they are committed to reaching an agreement with the U-A-W. In a statement released this morning, General Motors said that the company is "working diligently to reach a fair and equitable contract with the UAW that will provide our employees with good wages and benefits, while also ensuring the long-term success of our company."

The union is demanding significant wage increases and improved benefits, while the automakers are pushing for more flexible work rules and changes to the pension system.
