Did UAW strike?


Yes, the United Auto Workers (UAW) went on strike against General Motors (GM) on September 16, 2019. The strike lasted for 40 days, and it ended on October 25, 2019. The strike was the longest national UAW strike since 1970.


The UAW went on strike to demand better wages, benefits, and job security for GM workers. The strike had a significant impact on the economy, and it caused GM to lose billions of dollars. However, the strike was also successful in securing better working conditions for GM workers.


The UAW strike is a reminder of the importance of unions in fighting for the rights of workers. Unions help to ensure that workers are paid fairly and that they have safe and healthy working conditions. Unions also help to protect jobs and benefits.
