(Reuters) – United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain said on Tuesday the union is seeking economic benefits in contract talks with the Detroit Three automakers, including double-digit pay raises and defined benefit pensions for all workers.
The UAW presented its economic demands to Chrysler-parent Stellantis on Tuesday and will make presentations to General Motors Wednesday and Ford Thursday ahead of the Sept. 14 expiration of the current four-year contracts, Fain said.
He listed numerous other demands, including restoring retiree health care benefits and cost of living adjustments.
