DETROIT (dpa-AFX) – The US auto union UAW has also pushed through an income increase of 25 percent at the third car giant General Motors. The strikes in the industry that have been going on for a good six weeks have ended, as UAW President Shawn Fain announced in a video message on Monday. Last week, Ford (Ford Motor) and the Stellantis Group had already agreed to an increase of this magnitude over the more than four-year term of the contract. The agreements now have to be approved by the union members.
The UAW’s original demand was 40 percent – on the grounds that the incomes of the top management of the major car companies had grown by this amount. Before the strike began, car manufacturers were prepared to accept increases of up to 20 percent over a period of four and a half years – and initially emphasized that a higher offer was not economically possible. The union decided to gradually expand the strikes to other plants. This meant that the companies did not know which of their factories might be affected next.
The agreements with Ford and Stellantis increased pressure on General Motors as its competitors’ plants on strike resumed production./so/DP/he
