The United Auto Workers (UAW) is escalating its strike as the Big Three automakers—Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis—“still have serious issues to work through,” announced president Shawn Fain.

Speaking in a social media video message to supporters, Mr. Fain announced that the union leadership has decided to bolster its stand-up strikes at 38 parts and distribution facilities across 20 states for GM and Stellantis.
