UAW to 'pull out all stops' organizing nonunion automakers

- United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain said on Wednesday the union will "pull out all stops" in working to organize non-union U.S. auto plants after winning new contracts with the Detroit Three automakers.

Days after the UAW won major pay and benefit hikes from the Detroit Three automakers, Toyota announced that hourly manufacturing workers at top pay will receive a wage hike of about 9% effective on Jan. 1 and cut the time needed to get top pay from eight to four years. Fain praised Biden administration officials for helping the union win agreements with the Detroit Three automakers to ensure battery plant workers get higher wages and benefits.Fain and Biden on Thursday will tout Stellantis decision to build a new $3.2 billion battery plant and invest $1.5 billion in a new mid-size truck factory in Illinois under its tentative labor agreement. The UAW has not yet endorsed Biden for re-election saying it is focused on winning ratification of the labor deals.
