The United Auto Workers (UAW) strike against the Big Three U.S. automakers is now entering its third week, and union President Shawn Fain has reported progress in negotiations. During a Facebook Live event on Friday, Fain said that General Motors has agreed in writing to include electric battery manufacturing in the next contract between GM and the union.
Fain also said that the threat of a strike at another major GM plant convinced the company to change its stance. He expressed optimism that the negotiations are progressing in the right direction. However, he noted that Ford, GM and Stellantis (the parent company of Fiat Chrysler) still need to make concessions in order to reach an agreement.
The strike has been a difficult time for the workers, who are facing a loss of wages. Electric vehicle manufacturing plants, and the people who work there, have been an especially hard hit. Fain said that the union is committed to securing vital concessions in order to ensure that the workers are protected.
