Detroit’s “big three” v the United Auto Workers
industry faces unprecedented upheaval as the importance of the internal-combustion engine, which has defined it for more than a century, declines and that of battery power, which will define its future, rises. The latest reverberation of this historic shock is now rippling through the four-yearly contract negotiations between Detroit’s “big three” carmakers and its biggest trade union.
members of the United Auto Workers began simultaneous industrial action against Chrysler, General Motors and Ford. The union’s tactical change foreshadows a protracted stand-off, the stakes of which are high for the union and the carmakers alike.renegotiated its contract with one of the big three, with the other two usually falling into line with any agreements.
The car giants have countered by offering a pay increase of around 20% and some other concessions.

Ford says that this would more than double its labour costs.
