OMA to UAW: Prioritize Competitiveness of Auto Sector

Following the announcement of the United Auto Workers’ strike at multiple facilities of the Big Three automakers — including a plant in Toledo — the OMA called on union leaders to prioritize the competitiveness of America’s auto sector.

Over the last four years, the price of new a car has risen 30% to around $48,000. This as China is set to become the world’s biggest car exporter, according to reports.

Meanwhile, the strike’s “ripple effect” has begun as layoffs have been announced in recent days. 9/21/2023
