It’s happened again. Another non-union automaker has raised wages after the recent UAW win with the Big 3. Yahoo Finance has the story of Nissan deciding to “pony-up” 10% for their workforce.
Nissan Motor will hike top wages for workers at U.S. manufacturing plants by 10% in January after the United Auto Workers union reached new contracts with the Detroit Three automakers, a company spokesperson said on Monday.
The Japanese automaker said the wage hike takes effect Jan. 8 for production technicians, maintenance, and tool & die technicians. Workers not yet at top scale will also receive increases in wages. About 9,000 U.S. workers in total will get pay hikes.
In a recent Senate hearing UAW President Shawn Fain pointed out the automakers that are offering their workers raises after the negotiations between the Big 3 and the UAW. He described it as the UAW Bump. You can check it out here. U Are Welcome.
