With just hours left before their contract expires, leaders from the United Auto Workers union and three automakers met Thursday to try and hammer out a deal.
The leaders of the UAW, Ford, General Motors and Jeep maker Stellantis met at the UAW’s Solidarity House in Detroit. If a deal is not met by midnight, the union will strike.
