"Auto Industry's DEI Investments Amidst Worker Strikes and Shared Challenges"

America's largest automakers, including General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis, are facing criticism for spending millions on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs while their workers are on strike demanding fair pay. The companies have employed numerous DEI specialists, with leading staffers earning over $200,000. General Motors alone has allocated at least $110 million to DEI initiatives since 2020. Critics argue that instead of investing in DEI, the automakers should prioritize compensating their workers fairly and providing them with a generous pay raise.
