i have spoken with the president of the united auto workers. let me say a few words about uaw and the big three automakers. they have reached a historic agreement. a hard-fought agreement that was really bottled for a while. it was all done in good faith. these record agreements reward autoworkers who gave up much to keep the industry working and going during the financial crisis more than a decade ago. these agreements ensure that the iconic big three can still lead the world in quality and innovation. due to the commitment and solidarity of the uaw workers exercising their right to collectively bargain, they won a record contract with over 30% increases in wages, greater retirement security, and more paid leave. the commitment by the big three to create more middle-class jobs and invest tens of billions of dollars into plants and factories building the automobile future in america. [applause] i applaud the uaw and the leaders of the automobile companies or agreeing that all of those who were walking the picket line, they can go back to work i

automakers, the man who led the strike, the united auto workers president shawn fain joins me for an now, do you have a driver's license? oh. what did you get us? with the click of a pen, you can a new volkswagen at the sign, then drive event. hurry in to lease a new 2023 all-electric id.4 for zero down, zero deposit, zero first month's payment, and zero due at signing. limited inventory available. i told myself i was ok with my moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis symptoms. with my psoriatic arthritis symptoms. but just ok isn't ok. and i was done settling. if you still have symptoms after a tnf blocker like humira or enbrel, rinvoq is different and may help. rinvoq is a once-daily pill that can rapidly relieve joint pain, stiffness, and swelling in ra and psa. relieve fatigue for some... and stop joint damage. and in psa, can leave skin clear or almost clear. rinvoq can lower your ability to fight infections, including tb. serious infections and blood clots, some fatal; cancers, including lymphoma and skin; heart attack, stroke, and gi tears occurred. people 50 and older with a

today in our time the united auto workers has again taken on the auto industry with another new tactic, not with a sit down strike like 1936 but what they call this year a stand up strike. instead of having all their members strike everywhere in every factory all at once which it previously did, this time they picked individual strike tuesday plant and did it by surprise while they were continuing negotiations with the car companies. for 46 days the union would tell workers at specific plants just hours ahead of time okay now you, you stand up and walk off the job at that specific plant. and then the next day the stand up strike would happen somewhere else. this was a new strategy, and it had an important and interestingly balanced impact. these roll localized surprise disruptions at individual plants, yes, they put the fear of god into the auto makers, but it didn't create the nationwide shortage of new cars and trucks that would probably quickly alieniate the public. a sit down strike was an innovation in '36. stand up strike was than the innovation in 2023. it worked. uaw has just w

shawn fain and the united auto workers won 25% wage increases for their workers.st of living adjustments accumulatively raised the top wage to more than $42 an hour, including an increase of 70% for starting wages, to over $30 an hour. chrysler worker tenisha hodges told a new york times that the union deal will be a changing for her. she was making roughly $16 an hour in pretax income, as a so-called temp worker, though she often worked six days a week. quote, i still have to work amazon flex doing deliveries two or three days out of the week, missile just set. under a tentative contract agreement negotiated by the united auto workers, temporary employees like massages will be allowed to gain permanent status, after 90 days, and can't rise to the top with the wage scale in just two years. for miss hodges, that could mean a jump to over $40 an hour and pay, and quote. it puts me in a position where i can afford to drive a vehicle for the company that i work for. that is a very proud thing for me. joining us now is gene sperling, a senior adviser to the president.

and that is what gave us power at the bargaining table. >> obviously, united auto workers democraticork as their representatives and their contract negotiations, not at the places that are unionized. i am curious to hear your reaction to this kind of spillover effect that we have seen at non-union automakers raising their wages as well. >> hey, we call that the uaw bump. that is what happens when we bargained good contracts. bargaining and organizing cohen hand and hand. and it is not a coincidence that within three days after us coming to tentative agreements with the big three, toyota raised their wages by 11% and reduced their progression to four years. and then honda followed suit with bigger races and a three -year progression. then hyundai dropped jumped on board. they want workers to fear having a union. so they are trying to, you know, give him reasons not to join the union. but we know those orchestras are their fair share and that will be the next face as this is organized in those places and giving thousands workers their full share of the fruits of their labor. >> i want

do you believe that the strikes and the united auto workers strikes what that we've been talking abouter? >> i don't know. you know, to some extent it depends on what week was the data accumulated and my recollection is it's in the week in which the 12th of the month, 12th day of the month falls so that's a couple weeks ago now and the strikes were going full steam a couple weeks ago so i would guess that there would be some reflection of had that. in the greater scheme of things with almost 160 million people employed in the u.s. economy, the auto strike is not necessarily going to be decisive. maria: we will leave it there. dennis, great to get your insights. thank you, sir. >> thank you. maria: dennis lockhart joining us this morning, former president of the atlanta fed. we'll be right back. maria: next week on "mornings with maria," monday, u.s. interests in the middle east under attack, congressman michael waltz on the appropriate response. tuesday, president biden to meet with xi jinping after gavin newsom's disastrous trip to china. mary kissel is here. wednesday, alejandro mayo

>> i would say is it's very important to remember that a lot of these union teamsters, the united auto workers, the union that represents hollywood, those unions have been around for close to 100 years. you are seeing a lot more difficulty with amazon and starbucks because those are engagement unions. those are two massive american employees that historically have not been organized that are very antiunion, that are pulling all the shots to suppress unions at their companies, so that takes a lot longer to unionized their workforces and they have barely even started. i think there is a lot more to go and it is yet to be seen if workers will be able to organize at amazon and starbucks. >> as you said earlier, public support for unions has been growing, but the proportion of workers has been going down steadily for the past several decades. how do you reconcile those two things? >> it seems like a contradiction, right? labor unions are extremely popular, but no one is in them. last year, union membership fell to a historic low at 10.1%. that's only 6% of workers in the private sector. tha
