And UAW family, our Stand Up Strike has delivered.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The UAW went on strike at three Ford facilities, sending more than 16,000 Ford workers to picket lines including at its largest and most profitable factory; the Kentucky Truck Plant in Louisville.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The union is also striking <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">General<\/a> Motors and Stellantis \u2014 which together with Ford make up the \u201cBig Three\u201d automakers \u2014 though negotiations are ongoing with the other firms.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to be clear. We told Ford to pony up and they did. We won things nobody thought was possible,\u201d Fain said. \u201cThis agreement sets us on a new path to make things right at Ford at the Big Three and across the auto industry. Together, we are turning the tide for the working class in this country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Other points of the tentative Ford deal include raising wages faster, meaning workers can reach the highest wage level in three years instead of eight, as well as increasing company contributions to worker pensions.<\/p>\n<p>The most senior autoworkers will earn as much as $40 per hour, the union said, up from $32 per hour in the current, expired labor agreement.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>UAW Ford employees will go back to work pending the tentative deal.

GM announced third-quarter earnings of $3.5 billion on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr4_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cAnother record quarter, another record year,\u201d UAW President Shawn Fain said in a statement Tuesday. \u201cAs we\u2019ve said for months: record profits equal record contracts. It\u2019s time GM workers, and the whole working class, get their fair share.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>More than 45,000 of the union\u2019s nearly 150,000 members at the three companies are on strike nationwide.<\/p>\n<p>President Biden applauded the deal after his administration backed striking workers.

And critical to building an economy from the middle out and bottom up, instead of from the top down, is worker power.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Updated 9:51 p.m.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Copyright 2023 Nexstar <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Media<\/a> Inc.
