World’s Largest Auto Workers Strike Costs General Motors $9.3 Billion

General Motors said its agreements with striking UAW and Canadian Unifor unions would increase costs by $9.3 billion through 2028. The company also announced a $10 billion share repurchase.
These data were announced after the signing of a new contract with the UAW, ratified earlier in November by a majority of 54.7% of the vote. The contract includes a 25 percent wage increase and future job security for union workers as they transition into electric vehicle production. The additional costs are about $575 per vehicle on top of the contract, which expires in 2028.
On Wednesday, November 29, GM said the six-week UAW strike had impacted its business, with earnings before interest and taxes estimated at $1.1 billion.
“We are finalizing a 2024 budget that fully offsets the additional costs of our new labor agreements, and the long-term plan we are executing includes reducing the capital intensity of the business, developing products even more efficiently and further reducing our fixed and variable costs,” she said. CEO Mary Barra said in a statement. “With this clear path forward and our strong balance sheet, we will return significant capital to shareholders.”
The American automaker plans to immediately repurchase and retire $6.8 billion of its common stock as part of a $10 billion buyback program. The remainder of the buybacks will occur before 2024.
GM also announced a 33 percent increase in its common stock dividend, from 9 cents to 12 cents per quarter. The increase is expected to take effect in early 2024.
