UAW President Shawn Fain announced on Facebook Live that the union, at noon today, will expand its Stand Up Strike against General Motors (GM) and Stellantis (STLA) at 38 locations across 20 states. “On Monday, Fain had announced that the union would expand its Stand Up Strike against automakers that did not make substantial progress toward a fair agreement. Neither company did. Approximately 5,600 Big Three workers will join the approximately 13,000 who are already on strike. The union is continuing to strike Ford’s Michigan Assembly Plant in Wayne, Mich., but is not expanding its strike against the Dearborn-based automaker. The UAW and Ford did make substantial progress in bargaining over the last week,” the union stated.
