General Motors and two other automakers failed to reach a new labor agreement before their contract with employees represented by the United Auto Workers expired at midnight.

"We've been at the table since July 18th. We received over 1,000 demands," Barra told"CBS Mornings" on Friday."We put four offers on the table."

"And I think one thing that's very important is from a job security perspective, in this contract, we have product and work for every single one of our plants," she said."And that didn't happen by accident." Thousands of members of the UAW initiated a strike at midnight, affecting key facilities in the automotive industry. Picket lines have emerged outside Ford's Michigan Assembly Plant, a GM plant in Missouri and a Stellantis plant in Ohio, marking the first time all Big Three automakers have been hit simultaneously.

The strike has raised concerns about General Motors' ability to maintain its production lines, especially at the Wentzville plant in Missouri where they recently launched the Chevrolet Colorado and the GMC Canyon, both of which Barra said are in strong demand. Barra said GM's cargo van has also been in strong demand for over a decade.
