UAW Auto Workers Strike Paused As Progress Made In Contract Talks With Big 3 Automakers

UAW President Shawn Fain announced no expansion of the auto workers' strike this week due to progress in negotiations.

GM agreed to bring electric vehicle battery manufacturing under the UAW national contract, a major win.

Pay increases have been secured for temporary workers at GM, Ford, and Stellantis.

No tentative agreements reached yet, but progress made on cost of living allowances and wage increases.

As of Friday, about 25,000 UAW autoworkers were on strike at specific GM, Ford, and Stellantis facilities.
