WASHINGTON, United States - Another 7,000 members of the biggest US automobile workers' union on Friday joined its already major strike against the country's"Big Three" Detroit car manufacturers.
"Our courageous members at these two plants are the next wave of reinforcements in our fight for record contracts," Fain said. Fain mentioned a mechanism for adjusting salaries to the cost of living as well as the right to strike in the event of a site closure or relocation announcement by the manufacturer.
UAW has used the targeted strike, which began on September 15, as a bargaining chip, ramping up the pressure on the three automakers in a bid to reach a deal.Ford President Jim Farley, who has remained relatively silent until now, came out strongly Friday against Fain's negotiating tactics. "If he were there, he’d know we gave Ford a comprehensive proposal on Monday and still haven’t heard back."
"We have made progress in our discussions, but gaps remain," it said, adding it was committed to reaching"a fair and responsible agreement that gets everyone back to work as soon as possible."The strike has ramped up the significance of Michigan's swing state status in the 2024 presidential election.
