=== 2023 United Auto Workers strike ===
{{Main|2023 United Auto Workers strike}}
The 2023 strike launched by the UAW was the first strike against all three major American automakers in history. Then-recently elected UAW president [[Shawn Fain]] stated that he was "fed up" with the current situation between workers and automakers; Fain specifically blasted the tiered workers system at automakers, failure for automakers to keep wages up with inflation, pensions, as well as the introduction of a [[four-day workweek]] as opposed to the five-day workweek. GM CEO [[Mary Barra]] protested that her company offered an "unprecedented deal" which gave workers 20% raises as well as "world-class" healthcare. Barra further stated that meeting all 1,000 plus demands would bankrupt the company and cost over $100 billion.<ref>{{Cite web |date=September 15, 2023 |title=GM CEO Mary Barra defends position amid UAW strike, says company put 4 offers on the table  |url=https://www.cbsnews.com/news/uaw-strike-gm-ceo-mary-barra-defends-company-position-4-offers-on-the-table/ |access-date=September 19, 2023 |website=CBS News |first1=Analisa |last1=Novak |editor-first1=Sarah |editor-last1=Lynch Baldwin |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last1=White |first1=Joseph |last2=Shepardson |first2=David |date=March 27, 2023 |title=New UAW leader tells automakers: 'Our membership is fed up' |url=https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-auto-union-leader-promises-fight-get-workers-fair-share-2023-03-27/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230822032911/https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-auto-union-leader-promises-fight-get-workers-fair-share-2023-03-27/ |archive-date=August 22, 2023 |access-date=September 13, 2023 |publisher=[[Reuters]]}}</ref>
