The United Auto Workers (UAW) union has reached a tentative contract agreement with Stellantis, the union announced Saturday, edging closer to ending a 6-week strike that has dented Detroit's Big 3 automakers and idled thousands of their employees. The agreement includes a $9,000 ratification bonus, a 3% wage increase in the first and third years of the contract, and a 4% lump-sum bonus in the second and fourth years. UAW President Shawn Fain said the strike “is working” but “we’re not there yet.” General Motors is the only remaining automaker without a contract with the union.
