🇺🇸 The United Auto Workers (UAW) union rejected an offer from US automaker Stellantis to increase workers' wages by 21%, union head Shawn Fain said.
💬 "We’ve asked for a 40% pay increase... because in the last four years alone the CEO pay went up 40%… It's [Stellantis’ proposal] definitely a no-go," Fain explained.
On Friday, about 13,000 workers went on strike after the UAW in the United States announced that strikes at all three plants of the US "big three" automakers, namely Ford, Stellantis and GM, had begun after negotiations failed to increase workers' wages by a deadline set late Thursday night.

🇨🇳🔋🇪🇺 Europe’s energy ‘ecosystem’ could get hooked on China’s batteries by 2030
Concerns are on the rise that the European Union could find itself deeply “reliant” on China for lithium-ion batteries and fuel cells - crucial for electric vehicles - by 2030, warns a paper prepared for the bloc’s leaders and cited in a media report.
The EU may be one of the world leaders in electrolyser manufacturing – a key factor in green hydrogen production – but it relies heavily on China when it comes to lithium-ion batteries and fuel cells. This will multiply EU demand for the batteries "between 10 and 30 times in the coming years," the document is cited as saying.
The European energy ecosystem could have a dependency on China by 2030 of a different nature, but with a similar severity, from the one it had on Russia, warned the document.

🇺🇸 'Spending cuts & no blank check for Ukraine': US House Speaker's bid to avoid Gov’t shutdown
The race is on to avert a US government shutdown before the looming September 30 deadline, with Kevin McCarthy and his allies having reportedly come up with a new short-term spending plan they hope to push through the House of Representatives amid the funding logjam.
The deal that the US House Speaker purportedly presented to Republican lawmakers in a private conference call on Sunday evening would extend the deadline to fund the government until October 31, and was brainstormed jointly by a coalition representing the House Freedom Caucus, generally considered as the most conservative, and the more mainstream Main Street Caucus.
