Employees at the three automakers currently earn\u2062 between $18 to $32 an hour, meaning that\u2064 such a dramatic increase would see wages\u2062 pushed as high as $43.52 per hour.\u200d Meanwhile, the Big Three have countered with wage\u2063 increases ranging from 17.5-20% over the life\u200b of a contract.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the UAW is requesting a four-day \u2064work week \u2063so that its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/uaw-strike-obama-encourages-automakers-to-do-right-by-staff-who-sacrificed-pay\/\" title=\"UAW strike: Obama urges automakers to support staff who sacrificed pay.\">members work\u200b 32\u200b hours<\/a> a week at 40-hour pay.
