The 46 day UAW strike against General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis is tentatively over with the union getting most of what it asked for.
In addition to being a victory for unionized workers, the settlement is a win for President Biden who became the first sitting president to join a union picket line.
From POLITICO...
Biden showed unprecedented support for the union during the strike: He took the essentially unheard-of step of joining workers at the picket line in September, after Fain called for his support. Biden’s alignment with the union means the relatively favorable deals now could be seen as a boon to his handling of economic issues for the working class.
