The UAW’s “stand-up” strike strategy, which targets portions of the Big Three simultaneously, was a gamble. But the approach has worked so far, allowing the union to gradually escalate pressure on companies while empowering rank-and-file workers.

    I do particularly appreciate the method of being open and public about how negotiations are going because so often employers often announce their “super generous” offers by distorting the facts and narrative as they see fit, and media runs with that. Unions would be better off to engage their members in talk of what they want and how they are demanding it from their employers.
