United Auto Workers

The Sept. 27 trip, first reported by The New York Times, will also include a primetime speech.

The auto workers’ strike against Detroit’s Big Three is now in its fourth day. There were no signs Monday of an early breakthrough that might end the strike, and the United Auto Workers have threatened to escalate their walkout against Ford, General Motors and Stellantis.

Striking autoworkers want to be paid more. They also want to be paid more equally.

The United Auto Workers strike has exposed tensions between President Joe Biden’s goals of fighting climate change and supporting unions.

Nearly one in 10 of America’s unionized auto workers went on strike Friday at Detroit’s three automakers.

President Joe Biden announced Friday his administration is sending top aides to Detroit to help with the contract negotiations between United Auto Workers and the three major automakers, saying employers should share profits with unionized workers.

Here’s a rundown of the issues standing in the way of new contract agreements and what consumers could face in a prolonged strike

About 13,000 U.S. auto workers stopped making vehicles and went on strike Friday after their leaders couldn’t bridge a giant gap between union demands in contract talks and what Detroit’s three automakers are willing to pay.

The United Auto Workers and Detroit automakers remain far apart ahead of the union potentially striking the companies after Thursday’s deadline. Judy Ancel, the former director of the Institute for Labor Studies at the University of Missouri, reflects on the history behind those talks.

It would be the first time in the union’s 80-plus-year history that it struck all three companies at the same time.
