By David Shepardson - Talks between the United Auto Workers and the Detroit Three automakers resumed on Saturday, a day after the union began its first simultaneous strikes at three U.S.
"As we have said all along, Ford has bet on the UAW more than any other company. We are committed to reaching an agreement with UAW that rewards our workers and allows Ford to invest in the future. We have to win together," Mark Truby, Ford's chief communications officer, said in a statement. Mark Stewart, the North American chief operating officer for Stellantis, told reporters on Saturday the UAW rejected a proposal to keep an assembly plant in Belvidere, Illinois open, noting that the company's offer had been contingent on reaching agreement before the contract expiration.
Automakers have said they need cost-competitive contracts because of the need to spend billions of dollars to make the transition to electric vehicles , while workers note U.S. automakers have enjoyed robust profits over the last decade and had hiked CEO salaries by 40% on average since 2019. UAW President Shawn Fain called the reports of planned layoffs of non-striking workers an attempt by the automakers to"squeeze" union members into accepting a weaker settlement.
