"UAW Sets New Strike Deadline, Heightening Tensions in Detroit's Auto Industry"

UAW President Shawn Fain has announced a new strike deadline for the Big Three automakers, Ford Motor Company, General Motors, and Stellantis, giving them until Friday, September 22 at 12 p.m. to make substantial progress towards a fair agreement. If progress is not made, the UAW will call for more members to join the "stand up" strike. Unifor, representing Ford autoworkers in Canada, has also set a strike deadline for Tuesday, September 19 at 12 a.m. Talks with Ford have been described as reasonably productive, while discussions with Stellantis and General Motors have not been critiqued. Currently, the only plant being picketed in Michigan is Ford's Michigan Assembly in Wayne.
