Rep. Sykes Statement On The United Auto Workers Negotiations

WASHINGTON, D.C.— U.S. Representative Emilia Sykes (OH-13) issued a statement on the ongoing contract negotiations between the United Auto Workers (UAW) and the Big Three automakers—General Motors, Ford Motor Co. and Stellantis:

“I stand in solidarity with members of the UAW, especially my fellow Ohioans who are actively exercising their right to collectively bargain. Ohio has deep ties to auto manufacturing, and the industry helped build our state’s middle class. These workers who we’ve relied upon to travel within our neighborhoods and across the country should be treated fairly. I urge all sides to come to the bargaining table and negotiate a fair deal that respects the dignity of these workers and provides the pay and conditions they deserve,” said Rep. Sykes.
