UAW President Shawn Fain said the union is preparing to strike at select plants at midnight Thursday.
The head of the United Auto Workers on Wednesday evening said the union and the Big Three automakers are still “very far apart” on the union’s key priorities for wage increases and other demands—and that the union is preparing to strike all three companies using new tactics after 11:59 p.m. on Thursday.
“We’re likely going to have to take action,” said Shawn Fain, the union’s president of five months, on a Facebook livestream. The union won’t strike all facilities at once, Fain said. He is calling the new tactic a “stand-up” strike, in which local union chapters will be asked to strike at individual auto plants. Fain said it would create confusion for the companies and give the UAW added leverage at the bargaining table.
