US auto workers vote to authorize strike if contract talks fail August 25, 2023 at 05:34AM

Workers at Detroit's three auto giants, General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis, have voted overwhelmingly to authorize a strike if there is no contract by next month's deadline. The United Auto Workers (UAW) won at least 95% support for a possible strike, with an average of 97% across the three companies. The UAW's push comes during a period of increased labor activism, with other industries also experiencing strikes.
