The United Auto Workers union is on strike against Detroit’s Big Three carmakers, General Motors, Ford and Stellantis, to demand better pay and benefits.

The United Auto Workers union said it will broaden its strike at noon today, unless there is last-minute progress in contract talks with Detroit’s Big Three automakers.

Union President Shawn Fain accused Ford CEO Jim Farley of lying, while Farley called UAW irresponsible. But UAW said it made progress in talks with Stellantis.

The UAW and automakers have drawn closer in their demands and offers for a new contract but are still far enough apart to prevent a deal. Here is where things stand.

As the UAW strike continues, automotive suppliers are being hit hard, with firms in Michigan and Ohio resorting to temporary layoffs and warning of bankruptcy.

The union expanded its strike to a plant that makes up about one-sixth of Ford’s annual sales.

The pact gives the United Auto Workers union some of its biggest wins in years, including a 25 percent wage increase over the life of the contract.

The United Auto Workers is racing to reach contract deals with General Motors and Jeep-maker Stellantis.

United Auto Workers leaders reached a tentative contract deal with General Motors, according to people familiar with the matter. GM is the last of the Big Three automakers to negotiate an agreement after weeks of strikes.

UAW President Shawn Fain’s success promises a new chapter for labor leaders worldwide.
