Along with more pay and better benefits, the UAW is also demanding cost of living adjustments, an end to tiered employment, and worker protections in the EV era.

Dan Schwartz is the president of the UAW Local 1005, representing about 900 workers at the GM Parma plant, which he says is heavy in the supply of parts to a majority of SUV and truck plants.

The union says the wage increase they're demanding includes historic inflation since their last contract in 2019. Schwartz says no one likes a strike, and they don't want to strike but believes what they're fighting for will set the tone for other unions and non-union workers as well.Watch live and local news any time:
