The United Auto Workers (UAW) president laid out the union’s strategy for striking the “Big Three” automakers, telling members on Wednesday that they may carry out targeted walkouts to keep the companies off-balance.

The UAW’s contracts with Ford, General Motors and Stellantis, which owns the Dodge and Jeep brands, all expire at midnight Friday morning. The union has said it would strike any company where they didn’t have a satisfactory deal in place by the deadline.

Stellantis NV made its first proposal on wages to the United Auto Workers union Friday, offering a 14.5% pay raise to “most” union employees as it seeks to make progress in tense negotiations ahead of a Sept. 14 contract deadline.

United Auto Workers (UAW) President Shawn Fain has warned Detroit's Big Three automakers repeatedly in recent weeks that his members are prepared to strike against any or all of them if new contract agreements are not in place by next week's deadline, but how likely is it that a work stoppage might occur at Ford, General Motors or Stellantis?

President Joe Biden is making his pitch to union members as a possible labor strike threatens to upset both the economy and his 2024 reelection bid.

Biden's latest appeal to labor unions comes after the United Auto Workers lodged complaints against Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis over unfair wages and pensions, and voted in favor of a strike at the Detroit Three automakers if their demands are not met by the end of their four-year contract, which expires on Sept. 14.

Labor Day is right around the corner, along with the big sales and barbecues that come with it. But the activist roots of the holiday are especially visible this year as unions challenge how workers are treated — from Hollywood to the auto production lines of Detroit.

Touting himself as the most pro-union president in American history, President Joe Biden will celebrate Labor Day by speaking to sheet metal workers in Philadelphia.

For the past few months, the U.S. has witnessed what some describe as the summer of strikes.

From UPS workers threatening a massive walkout that would have led to a supply chain disruption to Ford and General Motors auto plants in Detroit facing possible walkouts later this month, union workers have been busy fighting for better working conditions.

Hollywood producers are taking their latest contract proposal public as talks between the studios and writers union remain heated.

The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers overnight publicly revealed the latest proposal, which they delivered to the writers on Aug. 11. The offer addresses residuals and compensation, artificial intelligence, and increased transparency regarding the streaming business — the top issues for the writers.

After three months of walking the picket lines, striking Hollywood writers expressed optimism on Wednesday about the reopening of contract talks with major studios and the possibility they could be back at work in weeks.

Details of the latest proposal from the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP), the trade group representing Walt Disney (DIS.N), Netflix (NFLX.O) and other major studios and streamers, remain shrouded in secrecy. Still, members of the Writers Guild of America see reason for hope.

Los Angeles city workers are planning to go on strike for 24 hours starting Tuesday, joining thousands of others who are pushing for better wages and benefits. 

The strike, organized by SEIU Local 721, will include more than 11,000 workers in sanitation, mechanics and engineering. The workers are expected to picket in front of city hall and LAX. 

Per the Los Angeles Times, the union says the strike is in response to the city allegedly failing to bargain with their members in good faith and for alleged labor practices that restricted union rights. 

Zachary Levi is confirming his support for SAG-AFTRA, as well as his love for the fans.

After the Shazam! Fury of the Gods star called the rules of the ongoing actors strike "so dumb" onstage at Manchester Comic-Con, he has since released a statement clarifying his stance.

"It's come to my attention that an offhand remark I made in jest last weekend is being taken out of context," he said in a statement to The AV Club. "So let me be very clear. I fully support my union, the WGA, and the strike."
