- Story Text: U.S. automakers and union negotiators representing the United Auto Workers expressed little hope that a deal would be reached to avoid a midnight walkout.
The UAW has outlined plans for a series of strikes targeting individual, undisclosed U.S. auto plants if agreements are not reached by late Thursday (September 14) in lieu of a full walkout.
“We've got to stay strong, stay united, stay positive," said Darwin Segers, a 49-year-old Stellantis assembly worker and strike facilitator for UAW Local 51 in Detroit, Michigan. "When it's that time, we're going to walk in solidarity. That's what we're going to do."
The UAW said it was planning a rally in Detroit on Friday that will include UAW President Shawn Fain, Senator Bernie Sanders and other members of Congress, coinciding with a first of day of expected walkouts.
