UAW members overwhelmingly granted union leaders authorization to strike during ongoing contract negotiations with GM, Ford and Stellantis, if warranted.
Strikes could take various forms, including a national strike, where all workers under the contract cease working, or targeted work stoppages at certain plants over local contract issues. A strike against all three automakers, as Fain has alluded to, would be the most impactful but also the riskiest and most costly for the union., which it uses to pay eligible members who are on strike. The strike pay is $500 per week for each member — up from $275 per week last year.
Assuming 150,000 or so UAW members covered by the contracts, strike pay would cost the union about $75 million per week. A fund of $825 million, then, would cover about 11 weeks. One caveat: that doesn't include health-care costs that the union would cover, such asNational or targeted strikes at any of the automakers could be detrimental to business.
