DETROIT — With just over 24 hours left before a strike deadline, United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain says offers from the companies aren't enough and the union is getting ready to strike.

“We do not yet have offers on the table that reflect the sacrifices and contributions our members have made to these companies,” he said. “To win we're likely going to have to take action. We are preparing to strike these companies in a way they've never seen before.”It would be the first time in the union's 80-plus-year history that it struck all three companies at the same time.

He said the targeted strikes will keep the companies guessing. “We will not strike all of our facilities at once" on Thursday, he said.
