Negotiators for striking United Auto Workers members and automotive supplier Dauch Corp. remain at odds in contract talks, the union said Friday.
"Welcome to another day of bargaining with a company that doesn't listen for s***," said Josh Jager, bargaining chair for UAW Local 2093, in a video posted to social media.
He added: "We will continue to hold the line until this company comes to their senses and brings back the contract that this membership has been owed for a long time. In the meantime, hold the line."
Roughly 1,000 UAW-represented workers for Dauch, formerly known as American Axle, have been on strike from the company's Three Rivers plant since early Monday. The union has maintained demands throughout the week for raising wages at the plant to $30 an hour by 2030, maintaining current health benefit costs and improving work-life balance protections.

(24,637 posts)They took pay cuts when the company came to them for help amid uncertainty and then the company got back on their feet, made the owners and execs rich, and the workers never got back what they sacrificed.
This is MAGA country though so I question the community's resolve and character in getting anything for regular people.
