UAW President Urges GM Members to Ratify Tentative Agreement, Ford and Stellantis to Pay Lost Wages

United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain urges GM members to ratify the tentative agreement, highlighting its significance in securing a better economic future for the working class. The agreement includes wage increases, the inclusion of new groups of workers, such as union-represented salaried workers and those at new battery plants, and the right to strike over plant closures. It also brings Ultium Cells employees under the national agreement, providing them with better wages and benefits. The agreement commits GM to over $11 billion in additional manufacturing investments, primarily for electric vehicle production. Fain addresses concerns about higher car prices, attributing them to corporate greed rather than worker wages.
