The United Auto Workers union has escalated its historic strike against Detroit's Big Three automakers, calling on members to strike at dozens of facilities run by General Motors and Jeep parent company Stellantis on Friday. The strike is taking place across 20 states, and is the first major work stoppage since 2007. It has already had an impact on the companies, with GM saying it has lost $1 billion in profits since the work stoppage began. The UAW is demanding wage increases, job security, and other issues, and is urging its members to remain strong and united in their fight for a fair contract.
