This is the first time that the UAW has gone against all three at the same time, and it worked. They're getting a 25% wage increase over the next 4.5 years along with cost of living increases and other concessions, so a great win for the union!
This is a tentative agreement, but those are usually ratified.
Meanwhile, Toyota, a non-union shop, increased worker's pay, seeing a huge risk that if they didn't, the likelihood of workers wanting to join a union would greatly increase.
And meanwhile meanwhile, Tesla is in the UAW's sights. The Muskbrat, one of the richest men in the world depending on how stock valuations are doing, is notoriously anti-union and has been fined for violating labor laws on multiple occasions.
