The end of the two tier wage system at U.S. automakers in 2015

11/24/2015

Negotiations in 2015 between the UAW union and Fiat Chrysler ended in the scrapping of the 2 tier wage system for all 3 automakers, Ford, GM and Chrysler. Under the new contracts with the UAW union all workers at the three companies can earn the top wage of $29 an hour. This is a major achievement for UAW president Steve Williams and the auto workers union which rejected the two tier system in a vote, leading to the scrapping of this arrangement.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
