Angry, striking workers ‘change the rules’ in US

The attitude of representatives of the automobile manufacturers has not yet pleased the United Auto Workers (UAW) union workers in the United States. while the latter accuse the former “to pull things out”They decided to change the rules of the game in their favor.

Thus, mobilization will be dictated differently. This puts the Big Three manufacturers, Stellandis, General Motors (GM) and Ford, in a difficult position. UAW representative Shawn Fine spoke about the strike’s new terms during a weekly update:

“Today, I am not announcing an additional strike, I am announcing a new phase in the strike.” “Henceforth, we will mobilize factories when we need them, where we need them and with very little notice.” “They (the automobile groups) thought they understood the rules of the game. So, we’re changing the rules.”

Only progress on Friday

A trade union representative recalled this in justification “Teams started waiting until Friday to see significant progress”. Let us cite the example of Ford, which is said to have submitted the same offer two weeks ago last Wednesday afternoon.

This is why 8,700 workers at a Ford site in Kentucky were called to strike last weekend. Enough to bring mobilization to 34,000 employees. 4,000 employees of truck manufacturer Mack Trucks (a subsidiary of Volvo) also decided to go on strike on October 8.

It remains to be seen how these new features will resonate with manufacturer representatives and what their reaction will be. Note that this movement has been going on for over a month since September 15th.
