This is the best summary I could come up with:
"We went backwards roughly $10 an hour in wages over the last six years," UAW President Shawn Fain told NPR.
On the other, are the Big Three automakers — General Motors, Ford and Stellantis — who say they have put historically generous offers on the table, while also emphasizing that there are limits.
"Our goal is to secure a sustainable future that provides all our UAW-represented employees with an opportunity to thrive in a company that will be competitive during the automotive industry's historic transformation," Stellantis said in a statement.
Fain told Morning Edition on Monday that the union had "minimal conversations" with all three companies over the weekend, and the ball is still in their court.
Ford told 600 workers not to report to work at its Michigan Assembly Plant's body construction department because the metal parts they make need to be coated promptly for protection and the paint shop is on strike.
The historic strike kicked off right after the stroke of midnight on Friday morning with 9% of the UAW's nearly 150,000 union members walking off their jobs.
