The United Auto Workers went on strike last week, hitting all of the Big Three automakers simultaneously for the first time in history. And while pay and benefits remain big negotiating items, the specter of the EV transition is hanging over these developments. Will the change over to electric cars cost unionized jobs? Or is there opportunity in the transition?
Paul takes this episode to look at the EV market through the eyes of the line worker, uncovering some of their fears and anxiety as to what the change over means.
