Autoworkers are readying themselves for a potential strike as contract negotiations<\/a> with the so-called \u201cBig Three\u201d drag on. The United Auto Workers (UAW) is negotiating on behalf of nearly 150,000 workers at Detroit-based auto manufacturing plants run by Ford, GM, and Stellantis N.V. At face value, UAW\u2019s demands<\/a> sound audacious: a 46% pay raise<\/a> and a four-day workweek<\/a>, among other things. But given the decades-long decline in labor rights and wages, is it unreasonable?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cedric de Leon, professor of sociology and labor studies at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst spoke with 精东影业 Racial Justice Editor Sonali Kolhatkar on YES Presents: Rising Up With Sonali<\/em> about the potential auto workers\u2019 strike and why UAW\u2019s demands are framed around a people-centered economy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
