A month after auto workers first walked off the job, UAW President Shawn Fain said the union will be ready to call for an expansion of its strike against Big Three automakers at any time.
United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain said on Friday the union would not expand the strike immediately against the Big Three automakers, but left open the possibility that it could do so at any time.
Fain, in a Facebook Live appearance, called this a “new phase” in the union’s fight against General Motors, Ford and Stellantis as the strike enters its fifth week.
Fain had previously used his Facebook Live presentations to announce strike plans, but the UAW changed tactics earlier this week when the union called on 8,700 workers at Ford’s Kentucky Truck Plant to walk off the job after Ford declined to offer a better contract.
