The transition to electric vehicles is one of the primary underlying problems in the UAW strike, as the Biden administration pushes for the transition.
The UAW is aiming for an increase in benefits, primarily a 36% wage increase for workers over four years. It is additionally demanding the restoration of cost-of-living pay raises, abandoned for new hires in 2007, an end to tiered wages for factory jobs, a 32-hour workweek with 40 hours of pay, pension increases for retirees, and the restoration of defined-benefit pensions for new hires who only receive a 401(k)-style retirement plan.
