Citing last-minute progress in talks, the head of the United Auto Workers union said Friday the labor group would maintain its current strike but not expand it to other plants this week.
Fain said GM has “leapfrogged” Detroit rivals Ford and Stellantis in agreeing “in writing” to include the auto giant’s electric battery plants under the UAW’s national agreement. Following Fain’s presentation, a UAW press release was headlined, “UAW wins just transition at General Motors.” Fain plans to attend a rally at Ford’s Chicago plant, along with other labor leaders and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson.Wearing a t-shirt with the slogan “Eat the Rich,” Fain reviewed the state of play, with each of the companies in many cases offering slightly different response to key union demands.
