"UAW Strike: Layoffs and Work Stoppages Escalate as Tensions Rise with Big Three"

The UAW strike against the Big Three automakers is causing layoffs and work stoppages as negotiations continue. The strike, which began last week, has led to disruptions in the supply chain and prompted layoffs at various facilities. UAW President Shawn Fain has warned of further strikes if negotiations do not progress by Friday. The strike is being conducted in a "stand up" manner, allowing the union to escalate the strike incrementally. The automakers are facing challenges in predicting the union's next move.
