TL;DR Summary

The United Auto Workers (UAW) union, in its fifth week of striking against General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis, announced a "new phase" in its fight, indicating the potential for an expansion of the strike at any time. UAW President Shawn Fain stated that the union will not adhere to a specific pattern and will demand the necessary changes from the automakers. Despite record offers from the automakers, including wage increases and additional benefits, the UAW remains unsatisfied with retirement security and the inclusion of union jobs in electric vehicle battery plants. The negotiations continue with no deal in sight.
