General Motors (GM) has reached a tentative contract agreement with the United Auto Workers (UAW) that includes nearly $2 billion in new investment for building future electric vehicles and related parts. The investment will be made in plants located in Michigan, Kansas, and New York. UAW President Shawn Fain, riding high on recent contract wins against Detroit automakers, expresses confidence in taking on Tesla and its anti-union CEO Elon Musk. One of the UAW's significant victories in its six-week strike against Detroit carmakers was securing protection for autoworkers affected by the shift to electric vehicles. UAW members at General Dynamics plants have also ratified a new tentative agreement. Fain, who has transformed from a little-known rabble-rouser to a corporate conqueror, has led the UAW through a period of recovery from a moral crisis involving embezzlement of funds.
