New York CNN —Ahead of contract negotiations set to begin Thursday, the head of the United Auto Workers union says they are declared that it’s prepared to strike against the Big Three US automakers. In a Facebook address to UAW members Tuesday, UAW President Shawn Fain said nearly 150,000 members will strike if Ford, Stellantis and General Motors do not meet their demands. And whether or not there’s a strike — it’s up to Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis, because they know what our priorities are. The UAW opens auto contract negotiations with Stellantis today, Ford on July 14, and General Motors on July 18. The last auto workers strike was in 2019, when 48,000 UAW members at General Motors walked off the job for six weeks.

Rebecca Cook | ReutersDETROIT — United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain promised union members he'd do things differently during contract talks with the Detroit automakers this year. Playing hard ball"We're in the process of changing the culture of this union from a reactionary, defensive union, to an aggressive and offensive-minded union," Fain said last month during a Facebook livestream. The deals cover roughly 150,000 UAW members who work for the automakers. United Auto Workers members on strike picket outside General Motors' Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly plant in Detroit, Sept. 25, 2019. "The federal government is pouring billions into the electric vehicle transition, with no strings attached and no commitment to workers," Fain said earlier this year.
