Culminating in over 45 days on the picket line, members at each of the Detroit Three have approved new contracts in favor of the UAW.
Supply chains have stabilized while market headwinds from high interest rates and high prices are muting sales.
While the UAW strike has slowed output at auto factories nationwide, the fallout has not fully hit consumers in dealer showrooms.
Since the labor actions started Sept. 15, the U.S. has ample inventory for now from the Detroit automakers that should keep steady supply through the end of the month. The all-important Ford F-150 had 97 days of supply at the start of October.
Sales in Q3 are expected to surpass 3.9 million, a jump of more than 15% from the same timeframe one year ago.
The United Auto Workers contract with the Detroit Big 3 automakers expires Sept. 14 as new inventory remains 68% above last year's level.
The policy comes amid driver-led protests outside Uber's San Francisco's headquarters.
Currently, there are about 90,400 ride-hailing drivers in Canada.
A key factor in the board's decision was the ability for Uber drivers to choose when to work.
According to Richard Alaniz, a partner at Cruickshank & Alaniz, a labor and employment firm, there are many open questions as a result of the decision, which could affect car rental franchises.
