The union will be looking to make significant gains over the most recent four-year contracts with the companies, ratified in 2015. ASSOCIATED PRESS The United Auto Workers union is looking to make significant gains over the most recent four-year contracts with Detroit's Big Three. The U.S. auto companies often point out the high share of temps at foreign competitors manufacturing in the U.S. South, such as Nissan, saying it puts them at a disadvantage. While the union contracts cover temp workers, those workers do not enjoy the same wages, benefits or job security as their full-time counterparts. Another likely point of contention is how long it takes workers with less tenure to start earning the top pay of $29 per hour.
