DETROIT (AP) — Pressure in rising on General Motors as the lone holdout in a strike targeting all three big Detroit automakers after a tentative contract agreement with Jeep maker Stellantis was reached with the United Auto Workers union over the weekend.
The Ford agreement revives cost-of-living adjustments that the UAW agreed to suspend in 2009 during the Great Recession.
At Stellantis, workers get cost-of-living pay that would bring raises to a compounded 33%, with top assembly plant workers making more than $42 per hour.
Overnight, 8,200 Stellantis workers in Canada represented by a different union, Unifor, walked off the job.
At the peak, about 46,000 UAW workers were on strike — about one-third of the union’s 146,000 members at all three companies.
