The United Auto Workers union says it will announce on Friday how it plans to expand its strike against Detroit's three automakers.

The union says President Shawn Fain will make the announcement at 10 a.m. Eastern time in a video appearance addressing union members. Additional walkouts will take place at noon Friday without serious progress in contract talks, the union said.

The union wouldn't say what action it would take on Friday, reiterating that all options are on the table. “We’re moving with all three companies still. It’s slower,” Fain said after talking to workers on a picket line near Detroit with U.S. 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.

Masters doesn't think Fain will announce that the whole union will go on strike yet. “I think he probably wants to give himself one or two more moves beyond this,” Masters said.
