(Reuters) -Car companies with production facilities in the United States are bumping up pay for their non-union workers after the United Auto Workers (UAW) secured record wage hikes and benefits for union workers at the Detroit Three automakers.

The UAW labor deals with General Motors (NYSE:GM), Ford Motor (NYSE:F) and Stellantis (NYSE:STLA) through 2028, include a 25% increase in base wages, including an immediate 11% hike, and will cumulatively raise the top wage by 33%, compounded with estimated cost-of-living adjustments to over $42 an hour.

The deal also eliminated wage tiers in factories and reduced the time it takes to reach top wage from eight years to three years.

After the win, the union released a video on social media, touting the «UAW Bump,» urging non-union workers to join the UAW. It has shifted its focus towards foreign-owned and Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) auto plants.
