 Aug. 1, 2022 | COMMENTARY | What do the Starbucks in Mount Vernon, the Apple store in Towson Town Center, MOM’s Organic Market in Hampden, the Baltimore Museum of Art, and the Maryland Institute College of Art have in common?

But for Detroit’s automakers, the bill likely won’t come due until 2023. That’s when General Motors, Ford Motor, and Stellantis (née Chrysler) will sit down with the United Auto Workers to hammer out a new four-year labor contract for 150,000 employees. When they last came to the table, in 2019, GM workers went on a 40-day strike that cost the company about $2.9 billion in lost earnings. The hot-button issues then… Bloomberg
