According to CCC Intelligent Solutions, the auto technician work force will decline by 4 percent from 2020 through the decade’s end.
Last year, demand for entrant technicians exceeded 35,000, but there were just 4,500 graduates from postsecondary collision programs, CCC’s 2023 Crash Course report noted.
Volvo Cars is expanding the technician staffing pie by looking beyond the male-dominated industry. Women account for less than 5 percent of the automotive technician work force, according to the U.S Bureau of Labor Statistics.
“We’re committed to hiring and inspiring women — from behind the wheel to designing and building the car of the future — and that involves achieving a 30 percent female work force by 2030,” Moynihan said of Volvo’s U.S. and Canada technician ranks.
And part of making service technician jobs female-friendly is making women more comfortable as they do the work, through the uniform reinvention.
“Volvo is leaning in from a recruiting and training perspective,” Moynihan said, “and sometimes it’s the little things that count — like a uniform that is designed for the job and the person wearing it.”

Whereas Guardian involves specific safety-critical situations, the institute’s human-interactive driving division is exploring ways to incorporate AI into the human driving experience.
Researchers are culling data from tests in both simulators and on racetracks to try to understand how motorists’ awareness levels correlate to steering, braking and throttle inputs. They’re further monitoring how drivers behave when they encounter yellow lights.
By analyzing and predicting responses, they hope to blend assistive features into the driving experience in a way that feels intuitive and sensible to humans. They further hope they can use AI as a driving coach of sort. It might help humans form better individual habits and incentivize good behavior.
“Imagine a car that you put your teenage children in, and you don’t have to be there,” said Avinash Balachandran, senior director of the human-interactive driving division. “You’re confident the car is going to make them a better driver.”
The notion that R&D efforts should still orbit around the idea of a human driver runs counter to many industry sentiments. And it’s not the only area in which Toyota has flashed a contrarian streak.
The automaker has said it would spend $70 billion on electrification efforts. It has committed to ensuring a third of its approximately 10 million vehicles sold globally each year are EVs by 2030. But Toyota says reducing carbon emissions should be its primary goal, not selling electric vehicles.
Toyota believes there are alternatives, namely hydrogen fuel cells, that can overcome battery-electric limitations in specific applications, such as long-haul trucking, and achieve a faster path toward net-zero emissions.
“We believe we need diverse solutions,” said Brian Storey, senior director of the institute’s energy and materials division.
It is his job to find and enhance them.
The division develops new materials for batteries and fuel cells as well as hydrogen electrolyzer and solar technology. It’s working on battery chemistries that need less rare-earth material and researching solid-state battery technology. The institute works with several university partners and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. Part of their work utilizes new algorithms that make faster sense of datasets than humans could understand on their own.
It can take almost 50 years for new chemistries to transform into mature products, Storey said, and “a lot has to happen in a short amount of time” for the industry to meet carbon-reduction targets.
Part of his mission is to shrink that time frame by utilizing new machine-learning techniques. It helps focus research when “there’s an infinite number of possibilities, and we’ve only scratched the surface in the kinds of things we can make,” he said.

The UAW declined to say if it would add additional Ford plants to the strike but said earlier this week it would not if it had seen “significant progress.” Ford shares gained 2%. Ford could not immediately be reached for comment.
About 12,700 workers walked out at plants in Missouri, Michigan and Ohio, which produce the Ford Bronco, Jeep Wrangler and Chevrolet Colorado, alongside other popular models. UAW President Shawn Fain has warned that more of the union’s 146,000 members who work at the Detroit Three will join them if new deals are not reached before noon EDT (1600 GMT) on Friday.
The union will also invite President Joe Biden to come to the picket lines, the source said.
The standoff is fueling worries about prolonged industrial action that could disrupt production and ripple through the supply chain and dent U.S. economic growth. A Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Thursday shows significant support by Americans for the striking auto workers.
Fain is due to address members on Facebook Live at 10 a.m. EDT, at which time he will outline the plants that will join the strike two hours later.
Fain has said the Detroit automakers have not shared their huge profits with workers while enriching executives and investors.
GM President Mark Reuss this week rejected those claims, saying the current offer to the union would be generous and the company’s profits have been reinvested in the transition to electric vehicles.
The automakers have proposed 20% raises over 4-1/2 years, while the UAW is seeking 40%.
The union also wants to end a tiered wage structure that it says has created a large gap between newer and older employees.
S&P said the strikes, which began on Sept. 15, were highly likely to last several weeks, potentially cutting third-quarter U.S. gross domestic product by 0.39% and causing “upheaval” across global automotive supply chains.
GM, Ford and Stellantis have said they are making contingency plans for further U.S. work stoppages.
Ford reached a last-minute deal to avoid a walkout at its Canadian operations late on Tuesday. Unifor, which represents about 5,600 Canadian auto workers, had been threatening to go on strike at all three Ford plants in the country.

You probably already know the problem. It’s the one that means you rarely see an E on the road. “I couldn’t live with the range…” said Saunders. “If only it had usable range,” said Verpraet. “All but unrecommendable,” said, er, me.
The E will take you up to 130 miles officially but usually less in practice. It takes an age to squeeze the last few percent of juice into the battery and it’s a brave soul who takes it down to near nothing, unless they know reliable home charge is waiting. So on a day out, let’s call it 100 miles. And that’s not nearly enough.
It’s such a pity, because the E, while not designed as a driver’s car per se and certainly not in the same territory as the Abarth 500e in being a hot hatch, is a pleasure to drive. It’s compact, its power goes to the rear wheels (not that it troubles them) and, by dint of not getting very far under its own steam, it’s relatively light in this company: at 1520kg, it’s second lightest, behind only the 500e.
That its front wheels don’t have to worry about power means that the steering is uncorrupted, slick and smooth. And with no front driveshafts, its turning circle is wee. That makes it the most fun in town, if not with the moves of the others on a B-road. “A city slicker through and through,” said Felix Page.

President Joe Biden will travel to Michigan on Tuesday to speak about the United Auto Workers‘ strike against Detroit automakers, the president announced Friday on the social media platform formerly known as Twitter. The UAW earlier invited Biden to join workers on the picket line in their fight for higher wages.
The strike is entering its second week, with the UAW reporting progress in its talks with Ford, yet widening its walkout against GM and Stellantis.
Fain called all GM and Stellantis parts distribution facilities to strike on Friday, announcing walkouts at 38 locations across 20 states. All of the plants already on strike will remain on strike, according to Fain.
Former President Donald Trump is also expected to visit the picket lines next week in Michigan, likely the day after Biden’s visit.
About 12,700 workers walked out at plants in Missouri, Michigan and Ohio, which produce the Ford Bronco, Jeep Wrangler and Chevrolet Colorado, alongside other popular models.

BMW Motorrad, the German carmaker’s motorcycle-building sister company, has issued a stop-sale order that applies to all new internal-combustion and some used models in North America. While details are vague, the brand allegedly found a problem with the evaporative system in its engines.
“Following a recent quality analysis, BMW is pursuing measures to further evaluate the material used in a component of its motorcycle evaporative system, which may not have been produced to specifications,” BMW wrote in a statement obtained by BMW Owners News.
The company describes the stop-sale order as “temporary and voluntary” and adds that it applies to all new and pre-owned models currently sitting in a dealer’s inventory. BMW stresses that the problem does not affect safety and that owners can continue to ride their motorcycle. We’ll need to be patient to find out precisely what the problem is, when and how it will be fixed, and which models are affected by it.
For context, the evaporative system referred to in the statement traps fuel vapors and channels them back into the engine so that they can be burned. In simple terms, it normally consists of a small charcoal canister connected to the fuel tank and the engine via a series of lines. This system isn’t specific to motorcycles: all new cars sold in the United States since the early 1970s feature a similar setup. In newer cars, the evaporative system (often abbreviated EVAP) is linked to the on-board diagnostic system and can trigger a check-engine light.
We’ll provide more details on this developing story as they become available. Nothing suggests BMW’s cars are affected by this problem.

Here’s a nightmare scenario for anyone who drives a low-riding sports car. Before diving into the story, the good (and surprising) news here is that nobody was injured. As for the bad news, the pictures should make that quite obvious.
This unwelcome Chevrolet meetup took place on September 18 in Thornton, Colorado, a suburb of Denver to the north. Specifically, the crash happened at the intersection of Colorado Boulevard and 168th Avenue, also known as Country Road 2. Crews from three municipalities responded, with the Thornton Fire Department sharing these spooky images of a Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck perched squarely atop a C8 Corvette.
We call these photos spooky for two reasons. There’s the obvious shock factor of having pickup truck wheels perched just outside the Corvette’s cockpit. You can bet its occupant (or occupants, we don’t know how many people were inside the ‘Vette) had a moment of terror as the Silverado came to rest on the windshield. The second reason is a question we’re still trying to answer – how did it get up there?
Modern pickup trucks are certainly sizable machines, and with off-road packages they can ride pretty tall from the factory. However, this particular Silverado (which looks like a facelifted third-gen truck) may not even have four-wheel drive. The wheels appear to be modest mid-level Chevy rims wearing equally modest tires, and there are no visible suspension upgrades. Judging by the grille, it could be a truck in LS trim and even if it’s a 4×4, we don’t see a Z71 badge denoting the optional off-road upfit. For all intents and purposes, this should be one of the lowest-riding late-model Chevy half-ton trucks you can get. And yet here it is.

As for the Corvette, it’s always been a low-slung sports car and the mid-engine C8 certainly isn’t an exception. We can see this one is a Stingray, both by the design of the front fascia and the Stingray emblem on the engine cover. Does it have aftermarket suspension? That’s a question only the owner can answer at this point, because you know, a 2.5-ton pickup truck crushing the car tends to compress the springs. Kudos to that A-pillar though. We don’t know how it looked immediately after impact (there are jacks supporting the truck in these photos) but it was at least strong enough to prevent injuries.
Google Maps tells us this particular intersection is a four-way stop in a rural setting, so that adds even more fuel to this mystery. Still, it’s not like crazy crashes never happen – lest we forget the Ford Explorer that legit drove up and over a C4 Corvette at an intersection back in July 2022. That was a slow-speed event, though the position of the truck and the visible damage on the front of the Corvette in this crash suggests a bit more speed was involved.
Motor1.com contacted both the fire and police departments in Thornton in hopes of getting additional context on this collision. We’re awaiting a response, and we will share that will all of you as soon as it comes in. Until then, stay safe out there everyone. And for crying out loud, please stop driving over Corvettes.

About 13,000 workers at three plants — one each from General Motors, Ford Motor Co. and Stellantis — are currently on strike and would become eligible for strike pay from the union on the day of Fain’s next announcement.
After the strike began, Ford laid off about 600 additional workers in Michigan as a consequence of its reduced production capacity, and GM has said it will need to lay off about 2,000 workers in Kansas as early as this week.
Negotiations continued Monday, although Fain has called progress “slow.” A person with knowledge of the talks said the union has not received any new proposals from the automakers since the strike began.
Fain told NPR earlier Monday that “the ball’s in their court,” referring to the companies.
Bargaining at the subcommittee level continues at a near constant pace while the union has held main table discussions with each company since the strike began. It met with Ford on Saturday, GM on Sunday and Stellantis on Monday.
In a statement, Stellantis said “the discussion was constructive and focused on where we can find common ground to reach an agreement that provides a bridge to the future by enabling the Company to meet the challenges of electrification.” It said the two sides “have the opportunity to establish a framework in this contract that will allow the company to be competitive during this historic transformation and bring our workforce along on this journey. This includes identifying a solution for Belvidere, something we have been committed to from the beginning and a discussion we want to continue with the UAW.”

Rubicon’s smart city technology will power solid waste collection in America’s fifth largest city, digitizing workstreams and enabling greater efficiency in an operation that services more than 418,000 locations every week
NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Rubicon Technologies, Inc. (“Rubicon” or the “Company”) (NYSE: RBT), a leading provider of software-based waste, recycling, and fleet operations products for businesses and governments worldwide, today announced that it has entered into a five-year smart city partnership with the City of Phoenix, Arizona (the “City”) to digitize and improve efficiencies across the City’s solid waste collection operation.

Ferrari’s Special Projects program is one of the most unique, exclusive, and coveted pieces of the Ferrari tapestry there is. Ferrari’s most prized clients, through the Special Projects program, are given the opportunity to collaborate with the historic manufacturer in the creation of their true dream car, and that is how the Ferrari KC23 came to be. The car’s avant-garde styling is like few other Ferraris conceived, and being a track-only creation, the result is art in exciting motion.
Revealed this past July, the Ferrari KC23 is based on the 2020 Ferrari 488 GT3 Evo, but with an elegant, muted paint color, a futuristic silhouette, and scissor doors, it looks radically different. In addition, it features advanced aerodynamics for excellent track performance, which have the ability to be removed in order to give the car a stunningly elegant shape while it sits still.
In a new Instagram post, Ferrari is showing the KC23 in development, with camouflage that does show that the car is nearing its final form in the flesh. With the desired and highly exclusive status as one of Ferrari’s most prized clients and collectors, it’s truly incredible what lengths the Prancing Horse is willing to go to in the Special Projects program to make a client’s personal dreams of the perfect Ferrari race car come true.

Lexus will show a radical new concept next month, which previews a ‘next-generation’ electric car it will launch in 2026.
Said to “revolutionise the modular structure of the vehicle body, drastically change the production method, and completely revamp the software platform”, the new car will serve as a statement of intent for the Japanese luxury brand as it pushes forward with a plan to electrify its entire line-up by 2035.
It is expected to be conceived along the lines of the recently revealed BMW Neue Klasse, Mercedes Concept CLA and Vauxhall Experimental show cars as an all-encompassing vision of the design cues, technological upgrades and performance potential that will distinguish the marque’s upcoming EVs from its current line-up.
Previewed as part of a recent Lexus Showcase event in Japan, the concept looks to be a dramatic, low-slung EV, possibly derived from the rakish saloon concept the firm showed briefly in late 2021. If it adopts a similar five-door fastback silhouette, it will serve as a natural rival to the likes of the BMW i4 and Hyundai Ioniq 6.
Lexus has given no further details of the concept – or the production car it previews – but parent company Toyota revealed last week that it will also begin launching a new family of electric cars, touting drastic improvements in range and price compared with the marque’s current EVs.
The headline upgrade for the Japanese firm’s new family of EVs – set to be shared with their Lexus counterparts – is a new type of lithium ion battery that claims a range of 497 miles from a single charge.
The new, more efficient chemistry allows for slimmer battery packs, which facilitates lower-slung and more aerodynamically optimised car designs with roomier interiors – features that could reasonably be expected to define the new Lexus concept.
The new lithium ion battery chemistry will eventually be offered alongside a ‘High Performance’ solid-state battery option that boosts range to 621 miles, Toyota claims. Lexus has not yet expressed an ambition to match that figure with a production car but has suggested it will use solid-state technology for the production version of its Electrified Sport supercar concept.

Volvo announced at Climate Week NYC today that it will stop producing diesel vehicles by early 2024. It said the decision illustrates how rapidly both the car industry and consumer demand are changing in the face of the climate crisis.
As recently as 2019, the majority of Volvo’s cars sold in Europe were diesel-powered, as was the case for many other car makers. Electric vehicles accounted for a very small percentage of sales. That trend has reversed itself. Today, the majority of Volvo’s vehicles are either fully electric or feature a plug-in electric hybrid powertrain.

In addition to eliminating diesel-powered cars, Volvo plans to be fully electric by 2030 and is aiming to be climate-neutral by 2040. Those targets follow the decision the automaker made last November when it sold its stake in Aurobay, a joint venture containing all of its combustion engine assets. As a result, Volvo no longer spends money on gasoline or diesel engine development.
Speaking at Climate Week in New York City, Jim Rowan, the chief executive at Volvo Cars, stated the company is fully focused on creating a lineup of premium, fully electric cars. “Electric powertrains are our future and superior to combustion engines. They generate less noise, less vibration, less servicing costs for our customers, and zero tailpipe emissions,” he said.
To further emphasize that point, Anders Karrberg, Volvo’s chief sustainability officer, will attend an event organized by the Accelerating to Zero Coalition at this year’s Climate Week. Launched at the COP27 climate summit, the A2Z Coalition provides a multi-stakeholder platform for signatories of the Glasgow Declaration on Zero Emission Vehicles. That platform’s objective is to reduce tailpipe emissions to zero on new vehicle sales by 2040.
Meanwhile, Volvo is moving ahead by launching a full slate of electric vehicles. Earlier this year, it launched the EX30, the company’s cheapest EV, which starts at $34,950. It debuted the EX90 at CES in January, which begins deliveries in early 2024. Eventually, the automaker plans to launch a minimum of six EVs by 2026, including an electric version of the XC60 and a new EM90 minivan.

When the clock struck noon Friday, Stellantis workers filed out of the Center Line facility shouting “Save Mopar now,” a reference to the company’s plans to close some Mopar facilities and modernize its parts distribution network. Stellantis has said the moves would not result in job losses. Workers held signs and chanted “no pay, no parts.”
The decision to call on parts distribution centers came as “a total surprise” to Craig Baxter, who has worked at GM’s Customer Care and Aftersales site in Lansing, Mich., for 10 years.
Baxter said he hoped the expanded strike would bring GM to the table to offer bigger raises, adding that he supports putting the parts depots on equal footing with manufacturing plants.
“We’re General Motors and we do labor work, so we should be in the same wage pool together,” he said.
At GM’s Davison Road Processing Center outside Flint, Mich., Ira Bradley is one of about 1,200 employees. He’s been working there for only three months, but this isn’t his first strike. He was at interior supplier Faurecia in Saline, Mich., when UAW called a walkout in 2019.
Bradley said he wasn’t scheduled to be on the picket line yet but came out anyway to show support.
“This is for a cause, this is for the movement,” Bradley said. “It’s bigger than us.”
Back in Lansing, Jean Duchemin, vice president of UAW Local 1753, said what he most wants in a new contract is the end of different wages for different roles, including new hires.
“Give us a proposal that does not exclude anybody,” Duchemin said. “Everybody must be included.”
Vince Bond Jr., Jamie Butters, Marisa Marcinkowski, Tierra Riddick, Rudy Schork and Lindsay VanHulle contributed to this report.

Over 50% of the electrical systems in homes are not ready for EV charging.
ARLINGTON, Va.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The Electrical Safety Foundation (ESFI) recently surveyed electric vehicle (EV) owners to gauge their understanding of EVs and electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE), or EV charging stations and chargers. The goal of the survey was to identify safety gaps related to emerging technology to ensure consumers are safe while operating and charging their EVs. The survey results show that over 50% of the electrical systems in homes are not ready for EV charging.
Survey respondents agreed that safety needs to be the top priority when installing and using EVSE. The majority of EV owners – 75% – have not had any charging issues, but 8% have received an electrical shock. Several responses highlighted various safety considerations, from the installation location to the use of certified equipment. Several respondents stressed the importance of choosing a high-quality charger from a reputable source. There is a clear need for information regarding charging EVs safely. Nearly one-third of owners surveyed did not receive information related to charging before purchasing their EV. ESFI’s EV resources can be utilized to ensure consumers have the safety information they need to keep themselves safe.
The survey respondents also stressed the importance of conducting thorough research before purchasing and installing EVSE, as well as hiring a qualified EV installer to complete the installation process. “Older homes may not be able to safely handle EV charging without overloading the home’s electrical system,” said ESFI President Brett Brenner. “ESFI urges consumers to have a qualified electrician complete an assessment on their home before purchasing or installing EVSE to ensure their electrical system can withstand the demands of EV charging.”
When respondents were asked about preparing their homes for EVs, 63% said they scheduled a home inspection before EVSE installation, while 54% needed an electrical panel upgrade. Many respondents mentioned the convenience of having a home EV charger, focusing on the benefit of charging overnight and eliminating reliance on public charging stations, as many cited problems with finding available charging stations. This included a general scarcity of charging stations, stations occupied by non-EVs, or stations in inconvenient locations. Respondents expressed dissatisfaction with the time it takes to fully charge an electric vehicle, which is problematic when charging infrastructure is scarce or while on a long trip.
ESFI recommends only using manufacturer-approved charging cables. Non-approved adapters can bypass safety features installed in manufacturer-approved chargers. They can also cause shocks, fires, and even damage your car’s battery. When respondents were asked about EV adapters, 45% said they had purchased an adapter, while 53% had not. “We are encouraged by the survey findings, as customer safety is our top priority as we seek an electrified future,” said John DeBoer, head of Siemens eMobility, North America. “We advise the public to only purchase certified equipment from trusted sources, check electrical manufacturers’ websites, and find authorized retailers and installers.”
As the trusted voice for electric safety, ESFI strives to keep consumers safe as they utilize emerging technology, including EVs. ESFI reminds consumers to follow the manufacturer’s instructions when charging an EV. Inspect your charger prior to charging, and never use it if it’s damaged. Extension cords should never be used; only use manufacturer-approved charging cables. Don’t alter or modify your charger, battery, or electric vehicle. Always remember to properly store your EV charger to avoid water and other damage. When parking in a public EV charging spot, be aware of your surroundings so you don’t run into a charger. For additional free EV safety resources you can share throughout your community, visit esfi.org.

Volvo’s first attempt at a compact sibling for its established XC60 and XC90 SUVs is a real success, and in the XC40, the Swedish marque has given us a car with the sort of instant kerbside appeal you’d expect of the class-leading act that it very recently still was.
With a design sufficiently charismatic and alluring to bring younger family buyers into Volvo showrooms, the XC40 backs up its funky exterior with a cabin of laudable richness, comfort, usability and quality. While this isn’t the most practical car in the small SUV class, it certainly has plenty of luxury car ambience, not to mention all the in-car technology you’d hope for.
There’s a choice of two plug-in hybrid models, a couple of mild-hybrid petrols, an entry-level T2 and a T3 petrol and the fully electric Recharge version, which is available in 228bhp single-motor and 402bhp dual-motor guises – the former switching from a front motor, front-wheel drive layout to a rear-mounted motor and rear-wheel drive for 2023.
The XC40’s ride and handling represent Volvo at its best and the small family 4×4 at its most relaxing. Rather than chasing other premium brands for driver appeal, the XC40 is happy to play the comfortable, refined, convenient and easy-to-use option – and it’s an effective one. If an SUV’s mission is to lift its driver above the hustle and bustle and filter out the pain from the daily grind, few do it better.
Pros Good to drive, excellent interior, comfortable over distance
Cons Straight-line performance not always up to snuff, can be loud at a cruise
This is easily one of the best-looking SUVs on the market and is objectively much more refined than its predecessor, with respectable fuel economy and an unusual level of handling verve for this class.
The CX-5’s interior is solid and quietly stylish, and it offers plenty of passenger and boot space. Although it’s now a bit older than some of the other entrants on this list, the CX-5 hasn’t lost any of the handling pep that has made it one of our favourite compact SUVs.

A source with knowledge of the negotiations said GM and the union remained far apart on an agreement as of Wednesday. The UAW declined to comment on whether it was close to a deal with any of the three companies.
GM officials went public with specifics about its most recent offer, which includes raises totaling 20 percent over the next four years for UAW-represented employees. That would bring top wages to $39.24 in 2027, including for workers at components and parts distribution facilities who currently earn less than other employees, GM President Mark Reuss said Wednesday.
In an opinion piece published in the Detroit Free Press, Reuss said GM’s Sept. 14 proposal — presented on the day the automaker’s previous contract with the UAW expired — would move all employees covered under the national contract to the same pay system and allow new employees to reach the top wage in four years. That would be a reduction from the current eight years for new hires.
“We have assembly and manufacturing jobs, we have warehousing jobs and we have supply jobs,” Reuss wrote. “Within these distinctly different businesses in our national contract, everyone is paid on the same wage structure.”
GM’s proposal would raise base wages for 85 percent of its represented work force to about $82,000 per year, with total compensation topping $150,000 annually when factoring in overtime pay and benefits such as health care, he wrote. The company’s offer also ensures that products will be allocated to — meaning work would continue at — all of GM’s U.S. facilities, Reuss wrote, signaling that the automaker does not intend to close any plants as it transitions to an all-electric vehicle lineup.
Reuss called the union’s demands “untenable,” noting that GM invests its profits into the company and its employees, including to prepare plants to build EVs and also for future gasoline-powered pickups and SUVs.
GM earned roughly $65 billion in net income from 2013 to 2022, including $9.9 billion last year, according to Reuss’ op-ed piece and GM’s annual reports filed with federal regulators. The automaker’s capital expenditures totaled more than $77 billion in that same period, according to regulatory filings. The company said when reporting second-quarter earnings in July that it expects capital spending of $11 billion to $12 billion this year.
The Detroit 3 have pushed back against the UAW’s criticism of their proposals in recent days. Fain has said the companies are earning record profits but paying “poverty wages” to employees.
“Amid the rhetoric of the United Auto Workers leadership, the flow of misinformation is not fair to anyone. It can be hugely counterproductive to reaching an agreement that gets the GM team back to work quickly, which should be everyone’s goal,” Reuss wrote.
“The record offer we proposed on Sept. 14 recognizes the many contributions our represented team members make to our company — past, present and future,” he wrote. “And it addresses, directly, what they’ve told us matters most: wage growth, job security and long-term stability.”

A Lithia spokesperson told Automotive News that the employee was “let go”Friday for violating the company’s social media policy.
The former employee’s profile is no longer on the dealership’s website, and their Facebook profile also appears to have been removed.
“We understand there was a comment from one of our employees on social media recently that hurt many people,” the dealership’s Facebook post said. “Although we cannot control a individual from voicing their opinion on social media, Suburban Ford of Ferndale doesn’t support the same message and supports all UAW workers, and we support their right to strike.”
The UAW launched a historic strike against all three Detroit automakers last Friday. About 13,000 workers at three plants — one each from General Motors, Ford Motor Co. and Stellantis — are on strike. The Ford plant is Michigan Assembly in Wayne, which also is in the Detroit area.
UAW President Shawn Fain announced in a Monday video that the automakers have a deadline of noon this Friday to make “serious progress” in negotiations before he expands the “stand-up strike.”
A handfulof people left negative reviews on the dealership’s Facebook page, voicing their displeasure with the former employee’s comments. In addition, several older Facebook posts by the dealership were filled with commenters voicing their frustration.
Thom Fladung, managing partner for crisis communications company Hennes Communications in Cleveland, said everything on social media potentially can go viral.
“Inappropriate use of social media by employees is one of the most frequent self-inflicted crises that we see,” Fladung told Automotive News.
Fladung said everyone has the ability to say what they want on social media, but with a caveat: Employees have to realize the impact it could have on their employer.
And employees should realize their actions could have other consequences, he said.
“You always represent that employer in some way or other,” Fladung said. “What we saw here is always possible.”
Lithia, of Medford, Ore., ranks No. 1 on Automotive News‘ list of the top 150 dealership groups based in the U.S., retailing 271,596 new vehicles in 2022. Lithia’s sales figures include dealerships outside the U.S.
