Carmakers and the United Auto Workers resumed talks Monday, seek deal to end strike

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

59% : GM said Monday that 2,000 UAW-represented workers at an assembly plant in Kansas City are "expected to be idled as soon as early this week" because of a shortage of supplies from a GM plant near St. Louis, where workers walked off the job Friday.
49% : Yellen said labor activism this year -- strikes by Hollywood writers and actors, by workers at about 150 Starbucks locations and walkouts that were narrowly averted at United Parcel Service and West Coast ports -- has been driven by a strong labor market and high demand for workers.
49% : Biden has backed the UAW in brief public comments, saying that the automakers have not fairly shared their record profits with workers.
48% : However, UAW President Shawn Fain said on NPR, "We have a long way to go," and if the companies don't respond to the union's demands, "then we will escalate action." So far the strike is limited to about 13,000 workers at three factories -- one each at GM, Ford and Stellantis, the successor to Fiat Chrysler.
