‘We’re in the abyss’: How the UAW strike could hit the economy

Published Thu, 21 Nov 2024 22:28:03 GMT

(The Hill) – While the current economic impact of a targeted strike by the United Auto Workers (UAW) is limited, the threat of a full walkout looms over contract negotiations with auto giants Ford, General Motors and Stellantis.Right now, that threat is hard to quantify — any estimate will depend on the length of the strike and how many more workers are called to the picket line. Even so, the economic impact of a full-fledged 10-day strike against the Big Three could top $5 billion, the Anderson Economic Group estimated in an August report. A months-long work stoppage could also eat into the Big Three’s cash holdings, Fitch Ratings warned Friday, particularly if the targeted strikes balloon to a widespread shutdown.And autoworkers are already being laid off by some companies, as thousands more UAW members brace for making just $500 per week on the picket line.“Nobody knows now. We’re in the abyss,” Pete DeVito Jr., and automotive director of the United Service Workers Union, told Th...

They’ll need that depth in the coming days with both members of the left side of their infield hurting.Carlos Correa, who further aggravated the plantar fasciitis in his left foot that he has dealt with for most of the season, was placed on the injured list, while Royce Lewis, who left Tuesday’s game with left hamstring tightness, hopes to avoid it.“You’ve seen it throughout the entire year, a lot of guys have gone down. You bring up the young guys from Triple-A and they’ve stepped up big time and they made a name for themselves,” Correa said. “I don’t see it being any different now. We’re not going to be in the lineup, but we have a lot of talent in this clubhouse in order for us to accomplish the mission that we have right now.”While Correa will not be eligible...

Published Thu, 21 Nov 2024 22:28:03 GMT

Jackson. The scene features Jackson honking and yelling out of a car window.“You about done?” Jackson says in the scene. “Tick tock, motherf‑‑‑er!”The update appears to be a cheeky insult directed at the automakers — Stellantis, Ford and General Motors — as the UAW navigates its first few days of striking against all three companies simultaneously for the first time. The union and the auto companies failed to reach an agreement before a Friday morning deadline, so the UAW went on strike. A recent Morning Consult poll found a majority of Americans — 54 percent — support the strike.The UAW has also received support from both ends of the political spectrum, from Presi...
