The president of the American union United Auto Workers (UAW) announced on Friday “significant progress” in negotiations with the three main American automakers, without announcing any modification to the list of factories on strike, some of them, for three weeks. .
“Things are evolving rapidly,” said Shawn Fain, during his weekly update on talks with Ford, Stellantis and General Motors. “I would like to be able to announce a preliminary agreement with one or more of these groups, but I want to be clear that we are making significant progress.”
Biden and Trump visits
The 150,000 members of the UAW (United Auto Workers), the American auto industry workers union, voted in late August in favor of a mass strike due to the failure of ongoing negotiations with the three major American automakers over the upcoming collective agreements. .
The movement took a political turn when Joe Biden and his rival Donald Trump picketed to support the workers.
