UAW workers at Ford, Stellantis and General Motors are ready to walk off the job if tentative agreements for new union contracts aren’t reached
As the deadline for “the biggest auto strike in generations” looms for 150,000 autoworkers, employees at Ford, Stellantis and General Motors are set to walk off the job at 11.59pm on 14 September if tentative agreements for new union contracts aren’t reached by then.
It’s the latest in a series of huge strikes called or threatened in the US by workers in industries including UPS workers, TV and movie production writers and actors, and hotel workers. If it happens, the strike could deal a significant blow to the US economy as well as the auto industry.
