UAW Demands 40% Pay Hike in Labor Talks With Detroit Automakers

[1srelluc]

The United Auto Workers union is pressing the Detroit car companies to give its factory workers a 40% pay hike in the next labor contract, an increase that would be the largest in recent memory.

The union conveyed this demand to the automakers this week, along with a list of other items it plans to push for at the bargaining table.

The UAW is negotiating new four-year labor agreements for about 150,000 hourly workers at General Motors, Ford Motor and Jeep-maker Stellantis.

Currently, unionized factory workers at the Detroit car companies start at about $18 an hour. The top wage, achieved over a period of years, is about $32 an hour.

The 40% pay hike would be a general increase over the life of the next four-year contract. It would be broken up into a 20% increase upon the contract’s ratification, and four additional 5% wage increases given each year, according to a person familiar with the matter.

A UAW spokesperson said that during the current contract, the average CEO salary at the Detroit car companies has increased 40%. “We believe UAW members deserve the same if not more.”

That will surely be good for long term job security and domestic auto production.
Do you want $150k base model F150? That's is how you get one.

LOL....Of course the way Bidenomics is going it might not even keep-up with real inflation.

Workers asking for higher pay is un-American. The ruling class should be able to destroy them with impunity.

It's $10.00 more a hour than a "living wage" and I suspect their benefit package is worth much more than one from Wendys.

People are allowed to demand higher pay despite your broke ass wanting cheap shit. Besides look at car prices right now, they're already unaffordable on semi-slave labor. And the ruling class owners are making record profits while trying to destroy their workers.

That's why you see more and more Hispanics and sub continent folks working at those places. I know a Paki woman that puts in a shift at McDonalds and another at Popeye's every day. They also own a couple businesses in town.

"Management" and "unions" both played idiotic roles in the demise of U.S. auto production. Anyone with any sense would have negotiated for those who worked on the cars ("labor") to become at least part owners of the corporations. They should have been responsible for what was produced. After all, it was they and other "workers" who bought and used the vehicles and knew what they wanted , especially where quality and price were concerned. Merely trying to maximize profits (management) or maximize pay (unions) was suicidal.

Can America's car manufacturers afford the 40% raise and still remain competitive with China and the rest of the world.
Probably yes if income inequality is dealt with.
