"UAW Strike Deadline Looms: Automakers Brace for Impact"

The Detroit Three automakers and the United Auto Workers (UAW) union are in the final hours to reach new labor agreements before the current strike expands to include more plants. The UAW launched simultaneous strikes at one assembly plant each of General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis, but analysts expect a wider strike to include plants that produce highly profitable pickup trucks. If new deals are not reached by noon EDT on Friday, more UAW members are expected to join the strike. The standoff raises concerns about prolonged industrial action that could disrupt production and impact the supply chain, potentially affecting U.S. economic growth.
