Subaru to Raise U.S. Plant Worker Wages Following UAW Deals

The Japanese automaker's decision comes in light of new labor deals by Detroit automakers, with the exact raise amount yet to be determined.

Subaru will increase the wages and benefits of its U.S. plant workers, following the new labor deals finalized by the Detroit Three automakers.
The exact amount of the raise for workers at Subaru's assembly plant in Lafayette, Indiana, has not been determined but will be in line with industry levels.
The increased compensation will include benefits such as improved healthcare, not just a pay increase.
Subaru and other non-union automakers in the U.S. have been under pressure to improve pay and benefits following the record contracts achieved by the UAW in late October.
Other non-union automakers that have raised wages for their U.S. plant workers since the UAW deals were negotiated include Toyota, Honda and Hyundai.
