UAW Union Files Unfair Labor Charges Against GM, Stellantis Over Contract Talks

The United Auto Workers (UAW) has filed unfair labor practice charges against General Motors (GM) and Stellantis, accusing the companies of refusing to bargain in good faith. UAW President Shawn Fain described the bargaining stance of GM and Stellantis as "insulting and counterproductive" and called it illegal. GM and Stellantis rejected the accusations, stating that they have been negotiating in good faith. The tension comes as the UAW demands a 40% pay raise over four years and the restoration of benefits, while the automakers argue that they need to remain competitive. Ford, on the other hand, has made a substantial contract offer that includes a 9% wage increase and improved benefits. The discord between the UAW and automakers has put President Biden in a difficult position as he tries to balance his commitment to the labor movement with his push for more electric vehicle manufacturing.
