Overview

• 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.
