A | The United Auto Workers union has once again escalated its strikes against big Detroit automakers, this time adding a factory that makes Ram pickup trucks for Stellantis.The union says that 6,800 members walked out Monday morning and shut down the Sterling Heights, Michigan, Assembly Plant, a huge profit center for the company.The newest strike action comes just three days after union President Shawn Fain reported progress in talks with General Motors and Stellantis but said the companies will have to make better offers. No progress was reported with Ford, which last week said it had the best offer of the three.The union went on strike Sept. 15 at one assembly plant from each company. About 40,800 workers are now on strike against all three automakers. The strikes, now in their sixth week, cover seven assembly plants and 38 parts warehouses. About 28% of the union's work force at the three company's are now on strike.General Motors, which increased its offer last week, and Ford were spared in the latest escalation. At first the union avoided striking at pickup and large SUV plants, which at all three produce vehicles that make the most money for the companies. But that changed two weeks ago when the UAW took out a giant Ford heavy-duty pickup and SUV plant in Louisville, Kentucky. In its statement, the union said that offers from Stellantis, formed in the 2021 merger of Fiat Chrysler and France's PSA Groupe, lag Ford and GM despite the automaker having the most revenue and highest profits of the three.Stellantis has the worst offer on cost of living raises, how fast workers move to the top of the pay scale, temporary worker pay, converting temps to full time, and other issues, the union said.By taking down the Stellantis factory, the union is signaling Ford and GM to improve their offers, Wedbush analyst Dan Ives said. Last week it appeared a deal might be in the works, but Fain said Friday that the companies will need to pay more.“It takes a potential deal that appeared on the table -- at least for now -- off of it,” Ives said, predicting the the union will announce new strike locations later this week. "There could be some tough talks ahead,” Ives said.On Friday, Fain said Stellantis and GM have made wage offers that matched Ford’s 23% over the life of a four year contract. But, speaking in his characteristic sharp tones, the union president insisted that the companies can go further.“We’ve got cards left to play, and they’ve got money left to spend,” Fain said.While Fain said the companies keep touting that they’ve made record offers to the UAW, he said they’re insufficient to make up for how much ground workers have lost during the past two decades. Each time the automakers make an offer, Fain said, they insist it’s the best they can do, only to return days later with a better offer.“What that should tell you,” Fain said, is that “there’s room to move.”。
B | ” 和他一起被紧急征调的还有其他4人。在他们出发的同一天，中国篮协宣布，此前前往澳大利亚参加世预赛的男篮队员中，多人新冠核酸检测阳性，只能留在墨尔本，暂时无法前往马尼拉备战亚洲杯。翟晓川的微博背景图，是一张漫画，画的是2019年男篮世界杯中国队的阵容。那届比赛，主场作战的中国队小组未能出线，无法直接获得奥运会门票。而在2021年的东京，最终也未见到中国男篮的身影。那时候男篮队员们多少也都带着伤病，训练的时候翟晓川问易建联脚怎么样，易建联说：“还能用。”翟晓川笑着说：“我的也还能用。” 但这样的画面并非球迷们记忆的主角，失误、惨败、愤怒是那届比赛的主色调。而后的几年里，周琦们一直在为那次比赛产生的负面舆论买单。而即使是前几天周琦在机场晕倒的消息登上微博热搜时，依然有人在揶揄着，却对在世预赛的比赛中，周琦撑起中国队内线视而不见。于是，一些“魔幻”的现象出现了。在外比赛的男篮队员、教练们，不但要面临比赛的压力，还要承受感染新冠的风险，而在互联网上，却还有不少球迷正在抨击和谩骂。常常有人出言不逊后拿姚明曾经在采访里说的那句“兴你打成这样，不兴别人说？”来当作自己的挡箭牌，但其实要明确的是，姚明支持的一定是客观理性的评论，而不是单纯情绪的宣泄。客观来看，中国男篮在世预赛第三窗口期的表现，并非一无是处。除了与澳大利亚的二番战中第四节的崩盘令人失望外，队伍还是展现了较好的精神面貌和新的战术特点。
C | 而即将到来的亚洲杯，对于中国男篮会是不小的考验。因为疫情影响，中国队最后能够拿出怎样的成绩目前还是未知数。然而在遥远的雅加达，队员们正全力以赴地备战。无论前路是掌声、鲜花亦或是质疑、不满，永远行进在为下一场胜利拼搏的路上，这或许就是即使中国男篮身处低谷，我们依然还深爱这支球队的原因。12日晚，中国男篮将迎来本届亚洲首个对手韩国队。作为亚洲男篮的两大老牌强队，中国队和韩国队曾在各个赛场奉献过无数经典对抗。而最近几年让人印象最深刻的，恐怕要数2015年长沙亚锦赛。在小组赛中，中国队在一度落后20分的情况下，最终逆转取胜。
D | 球队落后时，现场的数千名球迷一起唱起了《歌唱祖国》，那也是中国篮球历史上最经典的场景之一。中国篮球从来不乏可爱的球迷，希望这样理性、有益的声音越来越多。(完)
