The United Auto Workers, in a first, is striking against GM, Ford, and Stellantis at the same time. Expect the union’s demands — including pension changes and raises to keep pace with inflation — to threaten President Biden in key states as President Trump champions the blue-collar cause.

The “Stand Up Strike” isn’t a traditional work stoppage, but mirrors new trends in society and politics. Instead of everyone walking off the job, the UAW chooses local chapters to act, giving them “maximum leverage and maximum flexibility … to win a fair contract at each of the Big Three” according to their website.
