Why are UAW workers on strike?

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

48% : In part that's because workers who now make components for internal combustion engines will need a place to work as the industry transitions to EVs.
47% : Perhaps most important to the union is that it be allowed to represent workers at 10 electric vehicle battery factories, most of which are being built by joint ventures between automakers and South Korean battery makers.
46% : Though top-scale assembly workers earn $32.32 an hour, temporary workers start at just under $17.
