UAW president vows more strikes if no progress by noon Friday

The United Auto Workers union has threatened additional strikes at General Motors, Ford Motor, and Stellantis plants if there is no progress in negotiations by Friday.
The strikes are part of a new approach called the "Stand Up Strike," and the union has selected specific plants for targeted strikes as negotiations continue with all three automakers.
The union is demanding increased hourly pay, reduced workweeks, traditional pensions, and other benefits, citing the need for a share of the record profits posted by automakers. The companies argue that they can't afford the demands due to investments required for the transition to electric vehicles.
