14 Sep 2023 | Abstracted from Montana Public Radio

"...although EVs are not explicitly at the heart of the union negotiations, they are affecting them in all kinds of ways...The debate is not about whether automakers should transition to EVs...The United Auto Workers union is not trying to resist this transition.

"...the transition made it more crucial that both assembly line workers and battery workers...have pay benefits and guarantees as good as autoworkers used to have."
