After a six-week strike, United Auto Workers (UAW) members have ratified new contracts with Ford, General Motors, and Jeep parent company Stellantis. The contracts provide an 11% immediate pay increase and a 25% total pay increase over the 4½-year deal, as well as cost-of-living adjustments, the ability to reach top wages in three years, and the protection of the right to strike. This is a major victory for the UAW and its members, who have shown their commitment to protecting their rights and improving their working conditions.

After six weeks of striking, the United Auto Workers (UAW) and General Motors (GM) have reached a tentative agreement on a new labor contract, featuring a 25% wage increase across a four-and-a-half year deal with cost of living adjustments.

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.
