Tracy Sammon: 美国汽车工人联合会（UAW）对福特、通用汽车和Stellantis的罢工已持续四天，是针对这三家公司史无前例的联合行动。罢工的核心争议在于工资、工作条件和临时工问题。工会要求在四年内将工资提高40%，尽管有所让步，但仍与公司提出的20%涨幅相差甚远。此外，工会还要求取消资历工资制度，让所有员工都能获得相同的起薪，并为数千名临时工提供全职工作岗位。这些临时工目前的时薪为20美元，在通货膨胀的背景下难以维持生计。尽管周末进行了谈判，但目前进展有限。罢工已经导致部分工厂停产，并引发了裁员，福特公司已在密歇根州韦恩的装配厂裁员600人，通用汽车也计划在罢工影响到零部件供应的工厂进行裁员。
