The United Auto Workers and automakers resumed negotiations this weekend. But UAW president Shawn Fain described progress as 'slow.'
Talks resumed on Saturday following the launch of an unprecedented strike against the Big Three automakers — Ford, General Motors and Stellantis, the parent company of Chrysler, Jeep and Ram. Fain said they plan to continue negotiations on Sunday and Monday.
This week, Julie Su, the acting labor secretary, and Gene Sperling, a White House senior adviser, are expected to arrive in Detroit to help with negotiations. General Motors similarly said the strike at Wentzville Assembly in Missouri was already having"a negative ripple effect" at the rest of its Fairfax assembly plant in Kansas. The company warned that 2,000 Fairfax workers are expected to be out of work by early next week.
