Members phkrause Posted October 27, 2023 Author Members Share Posted October 27, 2023 🚙 Ford, UAW reach tentative deal The United Auto Workers union and Ford reached a tentative contract agreement last night that would end almost six weeks of strike action against the automaker, Axios' Joann Muller and Rebecca Falconer report. The tentative agreement, announced by the union and Ford, still needs to be ratified by Ford's 57,000 UAW members. Why it matters: The agreement could set a pattern for swift agreements at Stellantis and GM, where UAW members have also been on strike at select plants. Details: "The agreement grants 25% in base wage increases through April 2028, and will cumulatively raise the top wage by over 30% to more than $40 an hour, and raise the starting wage by 68%, to over $28 an hour," a UAW statement says. "The lowest-paid workers at Ford will see a raise of more than 150% over the life of the agreement." Reality check: There's no guarantee the UAW members at Ford will ratify the deal. Despite the huge raises, UAW president Shawn Fain has raised expectations about restoring benefits such as full pensions and implementing a 32-hour workweek.

Why it matters: The agreement, which comes days after Ford reached a separate deal, brings the historic work stoppage against Detroit's Big Three closer to an end, Axios' Sareen Habeshian and Joann Muller write. 🔎 Zoom in: The UAW saved 5,000 jobs that were to be eliminated, and got a commitment from Stellantis to add an additional 5,000 jobs by the end of the agreement in April 2028, union leaders said. 👀 What's next: The tentative agreements still need to be ratified by 57,000 UAW members at Ford and 43,000 at Stellantis.

Members phkrause Posted October 31, 2023 Author Members Share Posted October 31, 2023 What autoworkers won The United Auto Workers' tentative deal with GM today likely puts an end to six weeks of strikes that shut down large swathes of the auto industry. Why it matters: The proposed agreement — similar to deals struck in recent days with Ford and Stellantis — would provide big gains in wages and benefits, plus increased job security, Axios' Joann Muller writes. The exact terms of each deal aren't fully known. But here's what UAW won from all three automakers, according to AP: 25% wage increases over the 4 1/2-year contract. An immediate 11% raise upon ratification. A restoration of cost of living adjustments that would bring pay increases to about 30% by 2028. Ford's deal includes a $5,000 ratification bonus, increased 401(k) contributions and billions of dollars for plant renovations and new models. Under the Stellantis deal, the company would keep open factories in Trenton, Michigan, and Toledo, Ohio. A former plant in Belvidere, Illinois, would reopen. The deals must still be ratified by 146,000 UAW members across GM, Ford and Stellantis — the parent company of Jeep, Ram and Chrysler. 🥊 Reality check: The union didn't get all of its initial demands, which were much steeper than the negotiated contract. UAW President Shawn Fain wanted 40% raises and a 32-hour work week for 40 hours of pay.

Members phkrause Posted October 31, 2023 Author Members Share Posted October 31, 2023 🚙 UAW's biggest win in decades Illustration: Natalie Peeples/Axios The UAW's historic labor agreements with Detroit's Big Three automakers include big pay bumps and benefit increases, Axios' Emily Peck reports. Why it matters: The deals end a nearly seven-week strike — and mark a reversal of more than 40 years of waning power for auto unions in the U.S. 🖼️ The big picture: Coming on the heels of similarly hard-fought agreements for UPS workers and Hollywood writers, the UAW agreements will likely inspire further organizing efforts. "This is a shot in the arm," said Kate Bronfenbrenner, a professor at Cornell University's School of Industrial and Labor Relations. GM yesterday announced a tentative labor agreement with the UAW, following similar deals with Ford and Stellantis. With his clout rising on the national stage after weeks of labor action, UAW president Shawn Fain touted the agreements as a win for the union and workers across the U.S. 🔬 Zoom in: The contracts include an immediate 11% raise, and restoration of the COLA, the cost-of-living adjustment the union bargained away in 2009. There are massive pay increases for the lowest-paid workers. Temps hired this year will see a 150% wage increase over the four-a-half years of the contract. Crucially, the union won the elimination of a loathed two-tier worker structure — where workers were paid differently for doing the same jobs. UPS workers also got their two-tier deal eliminated in their new contract. 🔮 What's next: The unusually long contract term gives the UAW more time to organize U.S. auto workers outside the Big Three, at Tesla and the Japanese automakers.

Members phkrause Posted November 9, 2023 Author Members Share Posted November 9, 2023 Hollywood’s strikes are both now over as actors reach deal with studios, return to work with writers On Thursday at 12:01 a.m., for the first time in more than six months, neither Hollywood’s actors nor its writers will be on strike. The long-awaited clearing in the industry’s stormiest season in decades comes as a deal was reached late Wednesday to end what was, at nearly four months, the longest strike ever for film and television actors. Read more. Why this matters: The union valued the deal at over a billion dollars. Duncan Crabtree-Ireland, SAG-AFTRA’s executive director and chief negotiator, said the deal includes boosts to minimum payments to actors, a greater share of streaming revenue going to performers, a bolstering of benefit plans, and protections against the unfettered use of artificial intelligence in recreating performances. Details of the terms will not be released until after a meeting on Friday where board members will review the contract. Although the writers’ strike had immediate, visible effects for viewers, including the monthslong suspension of late-night talk shows and “Saturday Night Live,” the impact of the actors’ absence was not as immediately apparent. But its ripple effects — delayed release dates and waits for new show seasons — could be felt for months or even years. Related coverage ➤ The actors strike is over.
