UAW

So far, the UAW is holding a limited strike at three plants across three states.

The United Auto Workers may focus its actions on specific plants, instead of organizing a broad work stoppage, if contract negotiations fail.

Contracts with Ford, GM and Stellantis all end at the end of Thursday, and the president of the United Auto Workers union has made clear that members are prepared to strike.

It may be a strategy to cope with the electric vehicle transition.

The union is making its case for the increase citing the higher cost of living and strong auto industry profits.

The No. 1 issue on this assembly line worker's strike agenda? End GM's use of temporary workers.

The country was heading into the Great Recession during the 2007 walkout. A lot has changed for the company and the economy.

"We're getting little pennies compared to [GM executives]," one worker told Marketplace's Tracey Samuelson.

Workers shut down 33 manufacturing plants in nine states across the U.S., as well as 22 parts distribution warehouses.
