 United Auto Workers Union threatened a strike yesterday, Friday. This was the first time in their history that three unionized automakers in America went on strike at the same time.

Workers walked off the job yesterday at three factories owned by three companies in Missouri, Michigan and Ohio.

“Over time, we may call on even more residents to strike, and that will give us the greatest leverage in our fight for a fair contract with each of the three major automakers,” the union told its members. In total, around 13,000 members left their jobs to take part in the strike. .

The highest hourly wage for a union member at the three automakers is $32.32 per hour, so the union requested an immediate 20 percent increase and four consecutive annual increases of 5 percent each.

Although the union has reduced its wage demands, these are still well above the increases proposed by the car manufacturers.

union members at the three companies represent about 57,000 workers at Ford, 46,000 at General Motors and 42,000 at Stellantis.
