UAW Now Aims for 30% Pay Raise for Members

The UAW is negotiating with Detroit's Big Three automakers for a 30% pay increase, down from an initial 46%. The union aims to set a precedent for non-unionized plants and expand union influence across the auto industry. Key negotiation points include pensions and site closures, with companies like Stalantis being particularly aggressive in rationalizing operations. The outcome of these negotiations remains uncertain.
