General Motors remains the only “Big Three” Detroit manufacturer still at odds with the union.
The agreement, which covers nearly 15,000 workers, follows closely on the heels of a similar deal reached between the union and fellow “Big Three” automaker Ford—a significant victory for President Joe Biden, who threw his full-throated support behind striking auto workers. “We have won a record-breaking contract,” UAW President Shawn Fain said in a video posted on social media Saturday evening. “We truly believe we got every penny possible out of the company.
” Early in the strike, top Republicans gleefully embraced the opportunity to tie the president to an expanding work stoppage that threatened to reignite inflation or plunge the country into a recession. Those comments grew louder when Biden made history in late September by visiting striking workers at the picket line in Detroit, encouraging the union to “stick with it.” But the president’s gamble paid off.
