"UAW President's Announcement Sparks Concerns for Auto Workers"

United Auto Workers (UAW) President Shawn Fain did not announce a strike expansion or a deal with any of the Big Three automakers in his weekly social media address. The UAW has been targeting strikes at increasingly valuable locations to create leverage and stretch out its strike fund. Negotiations between the union and the carmakers are ongoing, with Ford providing a new offer this week. As of Thursday, about 25,000 UAW autoworkers were on strike, and the union plans to strike as long as necessary to achieve its demands for better pay and benefits.
