“To win, we’re likely going to have to take action,” UAW President Shawn Fain said.
The UAW on Wednesday outlined plans for a series of strikes targeting individual, undisclosed US auto plants if agreements are not reached by 11:59 p.m. EDT on Thursday, rather than a full walkout.Primary bargaining talks have moved to the UAW’s office in downtown Detroit where negotiations are ongoing Thursday, sources said.
Ford hourly employees on strike “would take home nearly 60% less on average with UAW strike pay than they would from working. And without vehicles in production, the profit-sharing checks that UAW workers could expect to receive early next year will also be decimated by a significant strike.” Some losses could be recouped by boosting production schedules after a strike, but that possibility fades as a strike extends to weeks or months. “to get a win-win agreement that keeps UAW workers at the heart of our auto future,” White House economic adviser Jared Bernstein said Wednesday. A prolonged strike could pose political problems for Biden.
