UAW chief to say if auto strikes will grow from 34,000 workers now on picket lines_我的网站

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.。

B |     심상·서클 넘어 인간의 ‘업’ 탐구스크래치 기법으로 관계망 형상화                    김영미 작가의 ‘2-3.circle’(2025). 캔버스에 아크릴과 돌가루, 130.3×162.2㎝. 김영미 작가 제공. 김영미 작가의 개인전 ‘업:業:UP’이 오는 29일부터 다음 달 13일까지 서울 목동 구구갤러리에서 열린다. 이번 전시는 김 작가가 오랜 시간 탐구해 온 심상(心象)과 서클(Circle) 시리즈를 넘어 인간의 숙명과 인연, 관계망을 ‘업(業)’이라는 주제로 풀어낸다. 홍익대학교 동양화과와 동 대학원을 졸업한 김 작가는 한국화를 전공했지만, 사실적 묘사보다 내면의 이미지와 감각적 움직임에 주목해 왔다. 특히 캔버스에 아크릴 물감과 돌가루를 여러 겹 덧입힌 뒤 조각도로 긁어내는 ‘스크래치’ 기법을 일관되게 구사해왔다. 쌓고 긁어내는 반복적인 행위를 통해 화면에 시간의 흔적과 내적 질서를 만든다. 이번 전시에서는 다양한 원과 선이 서로 교차하고 겹치며 유기적인 관계망을 이룬다. 굵게 긁어낸 면과 가느다란 실선의 조화, 과감한 색채 변화가 두드러진다. 화면을 가로지르는 원들은 클러스터나 뉴런의 연결망을 연상시키며 생명감과 움직임을 드러낸다. 작품 속 원은 단순한 기하학적 형태를 넘어 사람과 사람, 개인과 세계, 보이는 것과 보이지 않는 것의 관계를 상징한다. 원과 선이 만들어내는 흐름과 균형을 통해 인간이 어떤 인연과 관계 속에서 존재하는지 질문한다. 김 작가는 “모든 창조적 원리는 무에서 유가 됐다가 다시 유에서 무가 되는 순환을 한다”며 “인간은 그 순환 속에서 숙명적인 삶을 살아내면서도 우주의 질서 안에서 빛나고 싶은 연약한 존재인지도 모른다”고 말했다. 전시를 기획한 구자민 구구갤러리 대표는 “이번 전시는 넓고 굵게 긁어낸 흔적과 가느다란 선이 조화를 이루고, 과감한 색채 변화도 두드러진다”며 “수많은 원과 선의 결합이 하나의 우주를 만들고 있다”고 설명했다.。
