    Key proposals from the union have included 40% hourly pay increases, a reduced 32-hour work week, a shift back to traditional pensions, the elimination of compensation tiers and a restoration of cost-of-living adjustments (COLA), among other items on the table including enhanced retiree benefits and enhanced vacation and family leave benefits.

    I hope they get it all. 32 hour work day and return to traditional pensions would be huge.

      If the UAW can get a 32-hour week, that would be a MASSIVE step in getting it done for the rest of the work force. It would be a perfect example of how unions benefit all workers, not just the ones actually in the union.
