The United Auto Workers International Executive Board voted Saturday to increase the strike pay to $275, effective Sunday. The strike pay was set to increase Jan. 1, 2020.
Before the decision to let employees work part-time, those who worked and exceeded the $250 strike pay would not receive that pay.
“UAW members and their families are sacrificing for all of us,” said Gary Jones, UAW president. “We are all standing together for our future. This action reflects the UAW commitment and solidarity to all of our members and their families who are taking a courageous stand together to protect our middle-class way of life.”
