UAW's Influence on Pay Hikes Extends to Foreign Automakers

Non-union auto workers at companies like Nissan and Toyota are benefiting from pay hikes thanks to the United Auto Workers (UAW) contracts with the Big Three automakers. Nissan recently announced a 10% increase in top wages for its US workers, while also eliminating wage tiers. This follows similar moves by Hyundai, Toyota, and Honda for their non-unionized US workers. Experts suggest that these pay raises are a result of pressure from the UAW and a strategy to deter unionization. Raising wages also helps these automakers attract new labor and compete with the UAW contracts.

Starbucks boosts pay for US workers, but union employees must negotiate

Starbucks is rolling out pay hikes and new benefits for its employees, but some of these perks are only available to non-union workers. The company has been engaged in a bitter fight against union organizers, with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) ruling that similar moves by Starbucks violate federal labor law. As of mid-October, nearly 360 stores had voted in favor of a union, while about 70 voted against. The latest benefits include wage increases, but non-union employees will be eligible for additional vacation time sooner. Union members will receive the increases locked in last year, unless collective bargaining negotiations force Starbucks to concede more benefits. The company has appealed the NLRB's decision and remains firm in its stance.

"Actors and Studios Clash Over AI in SAG-AFTRA Negotiations"

Talks between SAG-AFTRA and major studios have stalled over various issues, including the union's demand for 2% of streaming show revenue, pay increases, and the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in replicating background actors. The parties also disagree on self-taped auditions, pension and health contributions, Actors Access fees, option periods for TV actors, representation of background actors outside of Los Angeles and New York, and the coverage of performance-capture acting. The strike is the first since 1980, with actors picketing for fair compensation and working conditions.
