Hundreds of United Auto Workers union members cast their ballots at local offices deciding whether to authorize a potential strike on Tuesday.
Members are currently working under a contract that is set to expire on Sept. 14. The UAW has been in talks with Detroit's Big Three — Ford, Stellantis and General Motors — since July. However, they remain far apart on issues like pay increases and retirement benefits.
Harris says he's been working at Stellantis for the last three years. He says he made sure to cast his vote in hopes of improving conditions in the plants. While a strike authorization vote passing doesn’t mean a picket line is imminent, workers say it is a strong show of force and offers leverage at the bargaining table if the union cannot strike a deal with the automakers by the end of the negotiation period.
