Thousands of members of the United Auto Workers went on strike at three U.S. assembly plants of General Motors, Ford Motor and Stellantis, after the union and the automakers failed to reach a deal on a new contract Thursday night.
周四晚上，美国汽车工人联合会和汽车制造商未能就新合同达成协议后，成千上万的美国汽车工人联合会成员在通用汽车、福特汽车和斯泰兰蒂斯这三家美国装配厂举行罢工。
In a members update webcast on Facebook Live on Thursday night, UAW President Shawn Fain said that the union is committed to a contract that reflects the “incredible sacrifices and contributions” that UAW members have made. The union has said wages for auto workers who make the top rate have risen about 6% over the past four years, while the three auto makers’ North American profits have increased about 65% during that time.
在周四晚间在Facebook Live上发布的会员最新网络直播中，UAW主席肖恩·费恩表示，工会致力于签订一份反映UAW成员所做的 “令人难以置信的牺牲和贡献” 的合同。工会表示，在过去四年中，收入最高的汽车工人的工资增长了约6％，而这三家汽车制造商在北美的利润在此期间增长了约65％。
A strike at all three U.S. automakers would be a break with UAW tradition, as the union for many years has elected to center efforts striking at one company to protect its strike fund and picket-line firepower.
对所有三家美国汽车制造商的罢工将打破UAW的传统，因为工会多年来一直选择集中精力打击一家公司，以保护其罢工基金和纠察线火力。
