The UAW is asking the Big 3 Detroit automakers to shut down their factories for 2 weeks amid coronavirus outbreak

The United Auto Workers union is asking General Motors, Ford, and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles to shut down their manufacturing facilities for two weeks as the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak worsens in the US.

Gamble wrote that the discussion among members of a task force assembled to deal with the coronavirus threat — including the UAW and the Big Three CEOs — took place on Sunday, so the 48 deadline expires at 6pm Tuesday. The task force, he said, would meet then to decide on a course of action. FCA has already dealt with a work stoppage at a factory in Canada and a single coronavirus case at a transmission plant in Indiana that wasn't shut down.
