The decision comes after ongoing negotiations failed to produce a breakthrough this week.
The decision comes after ongoing contract negotiations didn't result in meaningful progress with the two automakers this week, Fain said.
Fain announced two additional strike locations: a GM factory plant in Lansing, Michigan, and a Ford factory in Chicago, affecting 7,000 workers. The union did not expand its strike against Stellantis, saying the company that makes Jeep and Ram vehicles had made a substantial offer to the union, showing good progress toward a deal."Stellantis has been intensely working with the UAW to find solutions to the issues that are of most concern to our employees while ensuring the Company can remain competitive given the market's fierce competition," Stellantis said in a statement Friday.
"We have made progress in our discussions, but gaps remain. We are committed to continue working through these issues in an expeditious manner to reach a fair and responsible agreement that gets everyone back to work as soon as possible."
