The United Auto Workers (UAW) union has expressed concern that U.S. government subsidies that have been steered to major automakers for producing electric vehicles haven’t improved workers’ wages.
“The Big Three automakers—Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis—are taking billions of dollars in government subsidies to go electric, but those benefits aren’t trickling down to UAW members,” UAW President Shawn Fain said in a video posted on July 5.
