United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain to reveal Friday whether the union will expand its incremental strike against Ford, General Motors and Stellantis yet again.
United Auto Workers President Sean Fain is set to deliver his weekly address to members via Facebook live on Friday at 2 p.m. ET, at which time he is expected to announce the union's next moves in its ongoing simultaneous strike against Ford, General Motors and Stellantis.
Sources told Reuters that progress was made this week in the UAW's negotiations with both Ford and Stellantis. Currently, around 25,000 of the 150,000 UAW members employed by the Big Three are on strike, and the union has not ruled out expanding the strike nationwide if talks drag on. GM said Thursday that the strike has cost the automaker around $200 million so far, and the company confirmed it secured a $6 billion line of credit the day before.
