U.A.W Strike Comes to an agreement but may cause other issues

 During the past 6 weeks, the U.A.W. has dealt with workers on strike, demanding a better pay agreement. The U.A.W.'s president, Shawn Fain, has proposed a contract to end the Ford Motor strike and invited other labor unions to align their contract expirations with UAW's. The recent strike was the first to target all three Detroit automakers and aimed to secure substantial wage and benefit increases while reversing concessions made during the companies' downturn. The U.A.W.'s agreement may have some far-reaching implications beyond the auto industry, potentially making other labor unions consider going on strike as a reasonable strategy. With the recent agreement, the U.A.W. gains more influence over decision-making processes and the reopening of closed plants, setting a standard for employee involvement in management decisions. It will be interesting to see how other labor unions will potentially change due to these new U.A.W agreements and how that will play a role in our economy within our given state.
