UAW To Strike At More Big Three Plants, If No Serious Progress In Talks By Friday Noon
(RTTNews) - The United Auto Workers or UAW union, which has been striking at key plants of General Motors, Ford Motor, and Chrysler parent Stellantis, now plans to step up their actions, if there is no serious progress in negotiations by Friday noon ET, according to UAW President Shawn Fain.
In a video released online by the union, Fain said, "Autoworkers have waited long enough to make things right at the Big Three. We're not waiting around, and we're not messing around. So, noon on Friday, September 22nd is a new deadline."
About 12,700 UAW members are continuing their Stand Up Strike at one each plant of Detroit's Big Three since last Friday as the Thursday night deadline passed for automakers to reach deals with the workers.
