A | DETROIT -- United Auto Workers union President Shawn Fain is expected to update members Friday afternoon on progress in contract talks with Detroit's three automakers as movement was reported with General Motors.Fain is scheduled to do a live video appearance, where he could call on more workers to walk off their jobs, joining the 34,000 already on strike at six vehicle assembly plants and 38 parts distribution warehouses. The union's strikes at targeted plants at each company began on Sept. 15 and are nearing the start of their sixth week.A person briefed on the talks says the union is exchanging offers with GM and will meet again Friday with the company. The person didn't want to be identified because they’re not authorized to speak on the record about the bargaining. There also were meetings on Thursday with Jeep maker Stellantis.On Thursday, GM posted a video indicating that bargainers are still some distance apart. Gerald Johnson, the company's global head of manufacturing, said GM has offered a total wage and benefit package that averages $150,000 per worker. It includes a 20% pay increase over four years and a company contribution of 8% per year in 401(k) accounts, cost-of-living increases, and it brings most workers to a top wage of $39.24 per hour by September of 2027, the company said.GM already has agreed to pull new electric vehicle battery plants into the national UAW contract, essentially making them unionized, a key point for Fain and the union. The UAW is seeking 36% wages, restoration of defined benefit pensions that workers gave up in the Great Recession, pension increases for retirees, an end to varying tiers of wages for workers and other items.“You might might be asking yourselves why can't General Motors meet every demand Shawn Fain is asking for?” Johnson said on the video. “Simple answer is we need profits to invest in our future.”He goes on to say that during the past decade, GM had net income of $65 billion but invested $77 billion in the business. “If we don't have those profits to continue our investments in our plants, our people and our products, we will be facing declining market share, an inability to fund the EV transition, and an inability to compete with a growing number of competitors right here in America,” Johnson said.Ford and Stellantis have made similar comments, with Ford saying it has reached the limit on how much it can spend to settle the strike. The union, however, says labor expenses are only about 5% of a vehicle's costs, and the companies can divert money from profits and stock buybacks to pay for raises that cover inflation and make up for years of contracts without significant increases. The strikes started with one assembly plant from each company after contracts expired at 11:59 p.m. Sept. 14. The union later added the parts warehouses, then one assembly plant each from Ford and GM.Last week the union made a surprise move, escalating the strikes by adding a huge Ford pickup truck and SUV plant in Louisville, Kentucky. But Fain told workers Friday that the union added the Kentucky plant after Ford presented an economic offer with no more money than a proposal from two weeks ago.About 23% of the union's 146,000 members employed by the three automakers are on strike.Stellantis said Friday that it canceled displays and presentations at the upcoming Specialty Equipment Market Association show and the Los Angeles Auto Show as strike costs continue to grow. Earlier this week the company pulled out of the CES gadget show in January.。 8 月 26 日消息，据明镜 pro，上汽奥迪营销事业部副总经理谢施奇接受采访时，直面了关于奥迪四环与字母标的争议。
B | 谢施奇表示，作为一个新品牌，AUDI 在第一款车的时候，确实遭遇过这些舆论质疑，但现在情形已经改变。在 E5 的时候发布其实有点声音，但现在 E7X 上市之后经销商说已经没有人太在乎四环，甚至有客户反而讲你这个车就要配 4 字母，如果你配四环，我反而要质疑你的智能和电动能力。谢施奇认为，从实际的结果来看，上汽奥迪选择了以 AUDI 来进军新能源是一个非常正确的决定。
C | 一些上汽奥迪的经销商形象地表示，每个时代都有每个时代它自己的奥迪，而 AUDI 就是新能源时代的奥迪。他认为，过去是四环奥迪赋能产品，而现在是以产品带动品牌，相对而言从一个白纸去描绘蓝图，其实比带着包袱出发更好。“你产品能打、又能把客户服务好，反而去帮助你形成一个‘新奥迪’的概念和含义。”据此前报道，上汽奥迪 AUDI E7X 于 5 月 29 日上市，长宽高 5049mm/1997mm/1710mm，轴距 3060mm，售价 26.98 万元起：先锋型：26.98 万元先锋 Pro 型：29.98 万元先锋 quattro 型：32.98 万元先锋智能远航版：32.98 万元旗舰 quattro 型：35.98 万元相关阅读：。
