- The UAW union will announce additional strikes at GM, Ford and Stellantis plants if the sides don’t make “serious progress” in negotiations by noon ET Friday, according to UAW President Shawn Fain.
- The timing of the additional plants would come just over a week after the union announced targeted strikes at assembly plants of about 12,700 autoworkers.
- Unlike the original contract deadline, Fain did not say tentative agreements needed to be reached at the companies to avoid additional strikes, just “serious progress.”
