I think a bunch of out-of-touch, clueless "Big Three" executives had coronaries today.
However will they sell their $100+K electric vehicles if a decent small sedan can be had for $20K or whatever?

Members of the #UAW #union have given their backing to new contracts w/the #BigThree US #automakers, agreements that deliver hefty wage increases & other gains that had eluded the union for >20 yrs.
The agreements are similar & raise the top wage for production workers 25%, to >$40 over 4½ years, from $32.

The #BigThree automakers are seeing their reputations decline due to the #UAW #strike.
A Caliber survey shows people are less likely to consider their products, recommend them, or work for them since the strike began.
A majority of Americans support the striking autoworkers, and the strike centers around demands for higher salaries and other benefits.
President Biden and even some Republicans are expressing support for the UAW.

#UAW set to widen #strike barring progress in contract talks
The #UnitedAutoWorkers #union said it will broaden its strike at noon Fri unless there is last-min progress in contract talks w/ #Detroit’s #BigThree #automakers.
Talks w/ #GeneralMotors, #Ford & #Stellantis continued this week, but enough disagreement remained on Thurs that the union was preparing to walk out of more factories or warehouses.https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2023/09/28/uaw-strike-updates/

"You made a lot of sacrifice. You gave up a lot when the companies were in trouble. Now, they're doing incredibly well. And guess what? You should be doing incredibly well, too," #Biden said to applause from the #picketers. "You deserve a significant #raise you need & other #benefits. Let's get back what we lost, okay? ... It's time for them to step up for us."
