AFL-CIO Secretary-Treasurer Frederick Redmond, who joined Fain and Tai for a discussion of labor's role in trade policy, said "we don't expect Ambassador Tai to give one inch to the encroachment of China."

As the UAW’s Fain put it during a Facebook appearance in August, “While Big Three execs have used those extreme profits to pump up their pay, our members have fallen further and further behind.”

But at a meeting called by the union, the company didn't increase its previous offer, Fain said.

“By now, the writing is on the wall: change is coming to the UAW,” said Fain.

“Despite our willingness to bargain Ford and GM have refused to make meaningful progress,” Fain said in a video address Friday morning.

Fain added that the UAW will always be on the side of working people, including non-union autoworkers, and will strive to organize and ensure that auto jobs are good jobs that can support families.

Fain also announced a simple “30/50/70” recipe for workers looking to join the UAW.

Ford was spared from the latest walkouts because of progress that company has made in negotiations with the union, said UAW President Shawn Fain.

In an interview with NPR this week, UAW President Shawn Fain said that both camps only had “minimal conversations” over the past few days.

In an online address to union members, Fain said General Motors, Ford and Stellantis have raised their initial wage offers, but have rejected some of the union’s other demands.

Indeed, Green found out about the GM proposal just five minutes before Fain announced the developments at approximately 2 p.m. “It was down to the wire,” he noted.

"Sadly, Ford and GM have refused to make progress at the table," Fain said.

So while Fain is talking the big talk to his members, the reality check at the table is hitting their negotiating team.

The company also accused Fain of certain “false” accusations about picketing safety, and said he was “prioritizing inflammatory rhetoric over serious efforts to reach an agreement.”

The former president has to pick sides in the labor dispute, and has that Fain is “not doing a good job in representing his union.”

The raises barely make up for what Fain described as minimal raises of the past.

The U.A.W.’s president, Shawn Fain, said the union could extend the strike to additional plants if the talks failed to produce an agreement.
