The United Auto Workers (UAW) union is currently on strike and has several demands that they are fighting for. Some of the key demands include:
-
Big Raises and Better Benefits: The UAW is seeking significant pay raises and improved benefits for its members.
-
Elimination of Two-Tiered Wage System: The union wants automakers to eliminate the two-tiered wage system present at all three companies.
-
Leveling the Playing Field for New Hires: The UAW is fighting for new hires to receive better wages, health care, and retiree benefits.
-
Top UAW Wages for All Plants: The union wants all plants to receive top UAW wages.
-
32-Hour Workweek: The UAW has proposed a 32-hour workweek for its members.
The UAW is pointing to CEO pay raises and profits that the three companies have made in recent years as justification for their demands.
