United Auto Workers is pushing for pay increases and defined-benefit pensions for all workers in contract negotiations with Detroit Three auto manufacturers.
They include proposing to make all temporary workers at the U.S. automakers permanent, placing new strict limits on the use of temporary workers and increasing paid time off.
The union leader, in Facebook Live remarks, called the demands "the most audacious and ambitious list of proposals they've seen in decades." He singled out GM CEO Mary Barra, who received $29 million of compensation in 2022, and said it would take an entry level worker at a GM joint venture battery plant 16 years to earn as much as she made in a week.
Stellantis said it had a "very productive meeting" with Fain and the bargaining committee and would review the union requests to understand how they aligned with company proposals and where common ground could be found.GM said it would review the demands once they were received from the UAW on Wednesday.
