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

A |     10月25日，在全场的倒计时声中，“远古葱茏”——抚顺生物群特展在辽宁古生物博物馆一楼正式开展，以馆藏珍稀的抚顺生物群标本为核心，精心构建知识化展示链条，将标本资源与科技和艺术完美融合，通过自然看历史、透过历史看文化，充分展示抚顺地域魅力。    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.。本次特展由沈阳师范大学、中共抚顺市委宣传部、国家岩矿化石标本资源共享平台主办，辽宁古生物博物馆承办，辽宁省自然资源厅科技外事处指导，将持续至今年12月10日。         　　抚顺生物群是辽宁十大古生物群之一。

B | 抚顺生物群的时代为始新世中晚期（距今约5200-4000万年），发现了包括植物以及鱼类、淡水龟类等脊椎动物和昆虫等无脊椎动物化石门类，其中昆虫等节肢动物化石常保存于精美的琥珀之中。抚顺植物群曾出现高大的水杉、红杉等松柏类；还发现现今只在热带-亚热带生长的棕榈植物——似沙巴棕等化石，说明当时抚顺气候相当炎热，茂盛的植物为形成大规模的森林及辽宁第4期大煤田创造了充足的物质条件。         　　当天的开展仪式吸引不少热情的参观者前来观展。参观过程中，参观者通过抚顺地区发现的50余件珍贵化石及矿物标本的集中展出，一同领略“抚顺生物群”的独特魅力，在馆内讲解员的讲解下穿越时空，回到了那个“葱茏”的史前世界，感受大自然的神奇与壮丽。         　　辽宁古生物博物馆展览部主任刘森介绍说，此次特展是抚顺生物群化石在全国范围内的首次集中展出，展出了抚顺槲叶、抚顺桦等珍贵化石，以及种类齐全的抚顺琥珀，这些化石和琥珀非常具有科研价值和展览价值，让公众透过远古自然，更加深入了解抚顺悠久的历史文化。         　　作为抚顺流量工程中“抚顺宣传进沈阳”的一项重要活动内容，本次特展的举办得到了中国罕王控股有限公司董事会主席、北京大学沈阳校友会会长杨继野和以赵毅为代表的抚顺众多收藏家的大力支持，展览中的大部分展品选自他们为辽宁古生物博物馆捐赠的2000余块动植物化石和100余块琥珀。特展启动仪式上，辽宁古生物博物馆党总支书记杨建杰，为杨继野和赵毅颁授了化石捐赠证书。         　　抚顺生物群因其发现大量蕴含动植物的琥珀而被誉为世界上种类最丰富的琥珀生物群之一，这些琥珀不仅填补了始新世时期亚洲大陆琥珀生物群的空白，也因其内含物中具有极高的生物多样性，为研究气候变化和构造事件对欧亚大陆生物演化的影响提供了重要支撑。         　　特展启动仪式结束后，还同步举行了相关系列科普活动“一叶知秋——书香中的自然”植物书签制作活动。                    责任编辑：李丹。
