Headline economic issues and benefits such as hourly pay, retirement benefits, cost-of-living adjustments, wage progression and work-life balance remain central to the discussions. Here's a general overview of where the union and companies stand on key issues. Wage tiers — putting autoworkers into distinct pay ranges or classifications — is a tricky, moving target. The companies and union have defined tiers differently during past negotiations as well as during the talks this year. UAW leaders are specifically concerned with vehicle production commitments at Stellantis, which has proposed closing, selling or consolidating 18 facilities.

McDonald's launched a clothing range in collaboration with British skate brand Palace this week. The McDonald's x Palace pop-up is loading. TikTok user Sneaker Supplier said it's "outrageous" that McDonald's and the skateboarding and clothing company are charging £118 ($150) for a hoodie with its logo. "£118 to put a McDonald's logo and type out Palace is kind of outrageous," Sneaker Supplier said. McDonald's and Palace didn't immediately respond to requests for comment from Insider, made outside normal working hours.

The Merck/Moderna collaboration is one of several combining powerful drugs that unleash the immune system to target cancers with mRNA vaccine technology. BioNTech SE (22UAy.DE) and Gritstone Bio Inc (GRTS.O) are working on competing cancer vaccines based on mRNA technology. Barr said it took about eight weeks to design a personalized mRNA vaccine for each patient. In the past, similar experimental cancer vaccines were developed targeting a single tumor mutation, or neoantigen. With mRNA technology in combination with Keytruda, "we can create this shotgun approach ... that can create a more potent immune response," Barr said.
