The United Auto Workers has reached a tentative deal for a collective bargaining agreement covering workers at General Motors. Today’s deal follows similar tentative contracts the UAW reached with Stellantis and Ford in recent days. This is UAW President Shawn Fain.

Shawn Fain: “We called it the stand-up strike as a tribute to the sit-down strike which built our great union almost 90 years ago. The sit-down strike showed the incredible power of regular working-class people to fight for economic justice and win big. After 44 days of occupying the GM plant in Flint, Michigan, the UAW announced victory. On day 44 of our stand-up strike, I am honored to announce that our union is again victorious.”

The Stellantis proposal includes reviving an Illinois assembly plant that had been shuttered since February and cost 1,200 UAW members their jobs. Some 5,000 jobs will be added to the Stellantis workforce, along with significant raises and an end to tiered wages. In light of the success of its strike against the Big 3 U.S. automakers, the UAW said it’s planning to organize workers at nonunion automakers like Toyota, Honda and Tesla.
