Nearly 13,000 workers from 3 major automakers went on strike on September 15 following the expiration of contracts between the United Auto Workers (UAW) union and auto giants General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis. UAW President Shawn Fain called the companies' claims of the union refusing to bargain in good faith 'BS.' An analysis published earlier this week revealed that the economic ramifications of a potential UAW strike would largely depend on how long it lasts. The study projected that there would be substantial cumulative losses to national personal income, with estimates of $1.9 billion for an eight-week strike at Stellantis, $2.5 billion at General Motors, and $2.6 billion at Ford. #auto #Ford #Stellantis #GeneralMotors #strike #cars #unions #unionize
