UAW Secures Tentative Agreements with Multiple Automakers, Easing Political Pressure on Biden

President Joe Biden's pro-union stance gains momentum as Stellantis becomes the second of Detroit's Big Three car companies to reach a tentative agreement with the United Auto Workers (UAW), following Ford's preliminary deal. General Motors is now under pressure to come to terms as its competitors' workers return pending ratification. The UAW strike, which began in September, has resulted in better terms for workers, including a 25% wage increase over the four-year contract. The agreements are crucial steps towards ending the six-week disruption in the automotive industry, easing economic concerns for Biden as he navigates shared governance and seeks reelection.
