DETROIT (Reuters) — The United Auto Workers will walk off the job at an additional plant at General Motors and at Ford, United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain said on Friday, as the first-ever simultaneous strike against the Detroit Three automakers enters its third week.
The strike will expand to Ford’s Chicago assembly plant and GM’s Lansing, Michigan, assembly plant, covering about 7,000 workers, Fain said in an announcement, bringing the total number of workers on the picket lines to 25,000. The strike will not include any additional members at Stellantis.
