近几年,底特律汽车制造成功地从疫情及芯片匮乏的浪潮中得以持续,与此同时,最终还是拥抱了新能源车。一路上帮助千亿美元的市场,作为美国政府的分公司角色(言下之意,出于商业目的更少)。新能源车行业见证利润涌入,现在轮到 Shawn Fain了。

注意:
1.Shawn Fain 全美汽车联合会(UAW)总裁

这次走出阴影是由全美汽车联合会(UAW)主导的三家汽车制造商(通用、福特和 Stellantis)的罢工,并不能认为是普通劳资冲突。作为前 Chrysler 主席(election),54岁的 Fain 正推动一项重新核定工资及工作环境的措施,这些工资及工作环境长期以来都是倾向于公司的(而非员工)。Fain 试图(具有一定意义地)改变经济和汽车制造业。在此过程中,他将CEO职责放到一边,因为四年来工资已经涨了 40%,以及一周只需要工作32小时,这在其他发达国家是闻所未闻的,但是对美国来说只是有些陌生。 —— Natasha Solo-Lyons

今日要闻

总理 Justin Trudeau 认为,“信用誓言”确实存在着,该“信用誓言”关乎印度政府工作人员,还涉及了杀死一位杰出的锡克教(Sikh)首领,在加拿大。Hardeep Singh Nijjar 今年六月在萨里郡的神庙外被杀死,在英属哥伦比亚地区,(这一事件)引起了锡克分离派和印度自然主义的印度政府之间的紧张感。 Nijir 的死亡在分离派支持者中引起了抗议,这些分离派支持者声称,新德里是幕后主使。Trudeau 说他表达他的担忧,关于印度总理 Narendra Modi“个人地、直接地”风格,却在上周举行的 G20会议上被边缘化。“撇开不确定性,任何涉及外国政府杀死加拿大公民在加拿大领土,是无法接受的对我国主权的违背。”Trudeau 说到, Melanie Joly,加拿大对外官员,认为她已然驱逐了一位顶级的印度外交官。

In recent years, Detroit automakers managed to survive a pandemic and a semiconductor shortage while finally embracing the historic transition to electric vehicles. Helped along by billions of dollars in subsidies from the Biden administration, the industry has watched the profits roll in. Then came Shawn Fain.

The walkout led by the United Auto Workers president at General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis factories is no ordinary labor-versus-industry clash. Fain, a 54-year-old former Chrysler electrician, is pushing for a dramatic reset of wage scales and working conditions that have arguably long favored corporations. Fain is looking to meaningfully change the economics of car manufacturing. In the process, he’s put executives on the back foot with demands for 40% pay increases over four years and a 32-hour-work week—not unheard of in other developed nations, but certainly foreign to America.—Natasha Solo-Lyons

Here are today’s top stories

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said there are “credible allegations” that agents of the Indian government were involved in the killing of a prominent Sikh leader in Canada. Hardeep Singh Nijjar was slain in June outside a temple in Surrey, British Columbia, raising tensions between Sikh separatists and the Hindu nationalist Indian government. Nijjar’s death sparked protests among supporters of the separatist movement, who alleged New Delhi was behind the killing. Trudeau said he raised his concerns “personally and directly” with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the sidelines of the Group of 20 meeting last week. “In no uncertain terms, any involvement of a foreign government in the killing of a Canadian citizen on Canadian soil is an unacceptable violation of our sovereignty,” Trudeau said. Melanie Joly, Canada’s foreign minister, said she has expelled a top Indian diplomat from the country.

Citigroup debuted a token service that’s part of a broader push to offer digital assets to institutional clients. The product—known as Citi Token Services—will transform customers’ deposits into digital tokens that can be sent instantly anywhere in the world. The service is housed in the firm’s treasury and trade solutions division, which has so far focused on using it to improve cash-management and trade-finance capabilities.

Amazon is said to be hiring Microsoft’s product chief Panos Panay to run the division responsible for Alexa and the Echo smart speakers. Panos Panay, who led Microsoft’s Windows team and was central to the company’s hardware push with its Surface computers, said he was leaving Microsoft.

Americans can barely afford homes. Record-low US housing affordability is squeezing homebuyers and renters while threatening to spill into presidential politics. In markets Monday, stocks, bonds and the dollar saw small moves at the start of a busy week for major central banks. The S&P 500 closed near 4,450. Here’s your markets wrap.

GOP House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s latest proposal to avert a US government shutdown is already facing stiff resistance from far-right Republicans whose votes he needs for passage. McCarthy was working Monday to salvage the plan he announced late Sunday that would cut domestic agencies’ budgets by 8% and resume construction of a wall on the southern border. At least 10 far-right Republicans announced their opposition to the measure.

Ukraine’s anti-corruption watchdog wrote to German authorities and a Bavarian-based company seeking to halt the delivery to Russia of high-end machinery used by ammunition manufacturers.

The US military is asking for the public’s help to find the missing remains of a $100 million F-35 fighter jet that crashed after the pilot ejected during a training mission over South Carolina.
