About 13,000 U.S. Auto Workers from the United Auto Workers union went on strike at General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis (formerly Fiat Chrysler) after contract talks failed to meet union demands. This is the first time in the union's history that it has walked out on all three companies simultaneously. The strike comes at a crucial time for the auto industry as it transitions to electric vehicles, and could impact vehicle supply and prices. The union is seeking higher wages, the return of pensions, and other benefits. The strike could also have political implications for President Joe Biden.
