    UAW President Says Strike Could Hit All Three Detroit Automakers

    Written by Ethan Bernard

    United Auto Workers (UAW) president Shawn Fain said Wednesday the union plans to strike against any Detroit automaker with which it hasn’t reached an agreement by the time the labor contract expires, according to an interview with the Associated Press.

    “That’s the plan,” he told the AP regarding if the UAW would commit to a strike vs. any of the automakers if a deal is not reached by the deadline of Sept. 14 at 11:59 p.m.
