The threat of a strike in the automotive industry is real, and it could be triggered as early as this evening in the U.S.. The labour contract between workers of the UAW union and the three major American automakers expires today.
Another option on the table would be to attack where it hurts, i.e. by ceasing assembly of the most profitable models like pick-up trucks and large SUVs.Coordinated strikes could have an impact on US economic growth, depending on their duration. Declining inventories on the new vehicle market could push up used vehicle prices again.
Demands also include the restoration of defined-benefit pensions for all workers, a 32-hour week and additional cost-of-living increases, as well as job guarantees and an end to the use of temporary workers.
