In a defining moment for the United Auto Workers (UAW) union, our host, Michele Vincent, delves into the history, present and future of the 150,000 union members, as well as what to expect with the September 14th deadline approaching.

Following the 40-day UAW strike in 2019, there has been prevalent turmoil and leadership change within UAW. Under the guidance of a new international president, the UAW is poised to make major gains in negotiations — including bringing back cost of living adjustments and ending wage and benefit tiers that the union believes divides its workers.

Join us as we discuss:

• New leadership, new negotiation expectations
• The changing automotive industry: impact of EVs, automation and changing job functions
• The potential for a strike and disruptions it could have throughout the supply chain
