Ford & GM: Accusations fly about stalling EV battery plant discussions, resulting in expanded strikes.
Q3 US Vehicle Sales: Rise, but UAW strikes might hinder future growth for Detroit's big three.
Mack Trucks: Crisis averted with a tentative deal, as UAW echoes the US labor movement's goals in wage discussions.
The big three can A. Make a deal with the UAW and invest more money in their labor, or B. Avoid agreeing with the UAW and build/sell fewer cars, thus making less money to invest. Seems this conversation isn't about money since delaying could be the more costly option.
