    UAW President Criticizes Musk as Greedy, Seeks Pay Raises from Automakers amid Unionization Push

    • UAW president Shawn Fain criticized Elon Musk, saying workers scrape by so "greedy" CEOs like Musk can build rockets.

    • The UAW is demanding a large wage increase from automakers, who say it would widen the cost gap with non-union companies.

    • Fain claims labor is a small part of vehicle costs and automakers could afford the raises.

    • The union is also seeking to organize EV factories that are currently non-union.

    • Musk continues to criticize the UAW, claiming Tesla pays more than the union, though data suggests otherwise.
