UAW Members Go on Strike at Michigan Auto Parts Plant
Nearly 1,000 workers walked out after talks failed, and the union says wages remain far below pre-2008 levels.
- Nearly 1,000 members of United Auto Workers Local 2093 went on strike at Dauch Corp. in Three Rivers, Michigan, on Monday after contract negotiations failed at midnight on Sunday, May 31.
- Workers accepted up to 50 percent pay cuts during the 2008 Great Recession to save the facility; they now seek $30 an hour, up from the current $22 wage cap.
- Dauch generated $8.4 billion in profits over the last decade, with CEO compensation reaching $111 million and top five executives receiving nearly $231 million, according to the UAW.
- General Motors, the plant's primary customer, is 'closely monitoring the situation,' while Dauch called the strike 'disappointing' in an emailed statement.
- Bargaining Chairman Josh Jager stated workers will remain on strike until the company 'comes to its senses,' though GM currently holds about two weeks' worth of axle inventory.
