Ahead of contract negotiations set to begin Thursday, the head of the United Auto Workers union declared that it’s prepared to strike against the Big Three US automakers

In a Facebook address to UAW members Tuesday, UAW President Shawn Fain said nearly 150,000 members will strike if Ford, Stellantis and General Motors do not meet their demands. “The Big Three is our strike target. And whether or not there’s a strike — it’s up to Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis, because they know what our priorities are. We’ve been clear,” said Fain. The contracts between the UAW and the Big Three expire on September 14.

The last auto workers strike was in 2019, when 48,000 UAW members at General Motors walked off the job for six weeks.
