UAW Files Unfair Labor Practice Charges Against GM, Stellantis

The United Auto Workers (UAW) union has filed unfair labor practice charges against General Motors (GM) and Stellantis, accusing them of refusing to bargain in good faith. Ford Motor offered a 9% wage increase through 2027, much lower than the 46% wage hike sought by the union. The UAW demands include a 20% immediate wage hike, defined-benefit pensions for all workers, shorter work weeks, and additional cost-of-living hikes. The current labor agreements covering 146,000 workers at the Detroit Three automakers expire on September 14. Both GM and Stellantis denied the unfair labor charges, while Ford said its offer was significantly better than what workers earn at Tesla and foreign automakers.
