UAW President Shawn Fain announces the start of a series of strikes that ultimately brought the union success in contract negotiations with the Big Three automakers. A funny thing happened in the wake of the United Auto Workers’ recent contract settlements with major auto companies . Subaru said it would raise pay at its plant in Lafayette, Ind., though it hasn’t said by how much. What’s funny about these announcements is that none of these companies is covered by a UAW contract. But they could read the handwriting on the wall from the UAW’s contract settlements.
