UAW chief to say if auto strikes will grow from 34,000 workers now on picket lines_我的网站

一 |     中新网8月21日电 国务院新闻办公室8月21日举行“开局起步‘十五五’”系列主题新闻发布会。    DETROIT -- United Auto Workers union President Shawn Fain is expected to update members Friday afternoon on progress in contract talks with Detroit's three automakers as movement was reported with General Motors.Fain is scheduled to do a live video appearance, where he could call on more workers to walk off their jobs, joining the 34,000 already on strike at six vehicle assembly plants and 38 parts distribution warehouses. The union's strikes at targeted plants at each company began on Sept. 15 and are nearing the start of their sixth week.A person briefed on the talks says the union is exchanging offers with GM and will meet again Friday with the company. The person didn't want to be identified because they’re not authorized to speak on the record about the bargaining. There also were meetings on Thursday with Jeep maker Stellantis.On Thursday, GM posted a video indicating that bargainers are still some distance apart. Gerald Johnson, the company's global head of manufacturing, said GM has offered a total wage and benefit package that averages $150,000 per worker. It includes a 20% pay increase over four years and a company contribution of 8% per year in 401(k) accounts, cost-of-living increases, and it brings most workers to a top wage of $39.24 per hour by September of 2027, the company said.GM already has agreed to pull new electric vehicle battery plants into the national UAW contract, essentially making them unionized, a key point for Fain and the union. The UAW is seeking 36% wages, restoration of defined benefit pensions that workers gave up in the Great Recession, pension increases for retirees, an end to varying tiers of wages for workers and other items.“You might might be asking yourselves why can't General Motors meet every demand Shawn Fain is asking for?” Johnson said on the video. “Simple answer is we need profits to invest in our future.”He goes on to say that during the past decade, GM had net income of $65 billion but invested $77 billion in the business. “If we don't have those profits to continue our investments in our plants, our people and our products, we will be facing declining market share, an inability to fund the EV transition, and an inability to compete with a growing number of competitors right here in America,” Johnson said.Ford and Stellantis have made similar comments, with Ford saying it has reached the limit on how much it can spend to settle the strike. The union, however, says labor expenses are only about 5% of a vehicle's costs, and the companies can divert money from profits and stock buybacks to pay for raises that cover inflation and make up for years of contracts without significant increases. The strikes started with one assembly plant from each company after contracts expired at 11:59 p.m. Sept. 14. The union later added the parts warehouses, then one assembly plant each from Ford and GM.Last week the union made a surprise move, escalating the strikes by adding a huge Ford pickup truck and SUV plant in Louisville, Kentucky. But Fain told workers Friday that the union added the Kentucky plant after Ford presented an economic offer with no more money than a proposal from two weeks ago.About 23% of the union's 146,000 members employed by the three automakers are on strike.Stellantis said Friday that it canceled displays and presentations at the upcoming Specialty Equipment Market Association show and the Los Angeles Auto Show as strike costs continue to grow. Earlier this week the company pulled out of the CES gadget show in January.。会上，财政部副部长廖岷介绍，“十五五”时期，财政部将按照党中央、国务院的相关部署，加大财政逆周期调节力度，更加注重提升财政宏观调控的有效性精准性，为稳定宏观经济大盘、促进经济结构调整、推动经济社会高质量发展行稳致远奠定坚实基础。                        　　总的看，财政部将加快构建完善政策精准、工具多样、引导有力、协同高效的现代财政宏观调控机制。具体来说，主要有四方面考虑：          　　一是注重把握稳中求进工作总基调。一方面，保持宏观政策连续性、稳定性，在更长的周期内对财政资源进行精算和配置。另一方面，主动识变应变求变，根据经济发展形势，及时谋划、适时推出增量政策，更好发挥存量政策和增量政策集成效应，以时间换空间。         　　二是注重总量与结构并重。宏观调控既有总量的考虑，也有结构性的考虑。围绕稳增长、稳就业、稳预期政策目标，加大逆周期和跨周期调节，在保持必要赤字规模和支出强度的同时，下力气优化支出结构，集中财力保障国家重大战略任务。

二 | 我们将更加聚焦投资于人，合理提高公共服务支出占财政支出比重，在满足民生需求中拓展发展空间。我们也将着力推动区域和城乡协调发展，扎实推进乡村全面振兴。我们将加快推进全面绿色转型，完善多元化投入机制，增强绿色发展动能，等等。         　　三是注重供给侧和需求侧协同发力。更好发挥内需对经济增长的“主动力”和“稳定锚”作用，把扩大内需同深化供给侧结构性改革有机结合起来，推动供给与需求实现更高水平动态平衡。重点是统筹用好政府债券、税收、财政贴息、专项资金等政策，将惠民生和促消费紧密结合，促进服务消费提质惠民、商品消费扩容升级，培育打造消费新业态新模式新场景，着力提升居民消费能力；加快建设现代化产业体系，以创新驱动、高质量供给引领新需求。         　　四是注重政策工具统筹协调。加强财政政策与货币、产业、区域等宏观政策的协同配合，因时因势创新完善政策工具箱，打好政策“组合拳”，提升宏观政策的传导效率和整体效能。比如，我们将继续聚焦制约经济循环畅通的堵点难点，推动财政金融联动常态长效，以财政资金牵引金融资源，带动社会投资，更好激发消费潜力和投资活力。         　　在谋划实施财政宏观调控的同时，还将坚持以改革增动力、以管理提效能、以化险保安全，提升财政资源配置效率和资金使用效益，更好保增长、促转型，实现经济高质量发展与财政可持续的良性循环。【编辑:刘湃】。
