Hi there,

This month, Democracy Now! marks 29 years of fearless independent journalism. Presidents have come, gone and come back again, but Democracy Now! remains, playing the same critical role in our democracy: shining a spotlight on corporate and government abuses of power and raising up the voices of scholars, advocates, scientists, activists, artists and ordinary people working for a more peaceful and just world. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today in honor of our 29th anniversary. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

UAW Reaches Tentative Deal with GM, Ending Strike Against Big Three U.S. Automakers

HeadlineOct 31, 2023

The United Auto Workers on Monday reached a tentative agreement with General Motors, more than six weeks after thousands of autoworkers walked off the job for a historic strike against the Big Three U.S. automakers. The deal followed similar tentative contracts the UAW reached with Stellantis and Ford in recent days. This is UAW President Shawn Fain.

Shawn Fain: “We have won record agreements at Ford, Stellantis and now GM. We have united our membership like never before. We have shown the companies, the American public and the whole world that the working class is not done fighting. In fact, we’re just getting started.”

The agreement with GM includes a 25% wage increase over four-and-a-half years, among other benefits. We’ll have more on the strike later in the broadcast.
