The United Auto Workers union said Friday that results are still being tallied, but so far 97% have voted in favor of authorizing one or more strikes against Stellantis, General Motors and Ford. Such votes are almost always approved by large margins.
Contract talks with the Detroit Three began in July, but Fain has consistently said the companies aren’t bargaining seriously.Fain told members on Facebook Live Friday that the union still hasn’t picked a target company for a strike and could walk out against all three. “Things could always shift in bargaining if something miraculous happened with one of the companies, it could change,” he said. “We want contracts by Sept. 14 with all three.
Stellantis, which has drawn much of Fain’s ire in recent weeks, said Friday that negotiations “continue to be constructive and collaborative.” The company said it wants an agreement that will balance employee concerns and position Stellantis to “meet the challenges U.S. marketplace and secures the future for all of our employees, their families and our company.”
The union is seeking a 40% pay increase, restoration of pensions for new hires, elimination of wage tiers and other items. Fain has often told workers they have to be ready to strike in order to achieve gains from the profitable automakers.
