Additional walkouts, including at plants in Chicago, will take place at noon Friday without serious progress in contract talks, the union said.

“We’re moving with all three companies still. It’s slower,” Fain said after talking to workers on a picket line near Detroit with President Joe Biden. “It’s bargaining. Some days you feel like you make two steps forward, the next day you take a step back. Things are moving. We just have to see,” he said.

Marick Masters, a business professor at Wayne State University in Detroit, said Wednesday that the union is likely to go after the pickup and SUV factories as it tries to squeeze the companies into making better offers. It also could shut down selected component factories such as transmissions that would eventually force the companies to halt assembly plants.

Fain also is likely to limit the strikes at companies where negotiations are progressing, but escalate them further at companies where talks are moving more slowly, Masters said. But this year Fain introduced a new strike method of targeting only part of the companies’ plants, with plans to add more in an effort to get the automakers to raise their offers.
