Citing last-minute progress in talks, the head of the US auto workers' union said Friday the labor group would maintain the current strike but not expand it to other plants this week. Fain maintained the possibility of escalating the strike further down the road, but added no more targeted plants after announcing prior expansions the last two Fridays following the initial stoppage on September 15.

United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain hailed a "breakthrough" concession from General Motors in response to another threatened expansion of the three-week partial stoppage. Fain maintained the possibility of escalating the strike further down the road, but added no more targeted plants after announcing prior expansions the last two Fridays following the initial stoppage on September 15.
Wearing a t-shirt with the slogan"Eat the Rich," Fain reviewed the state of play, with each of the companies often offering slightly different response to key union demands. The pause in escalating the strike will be a relief to the three companies, although Fain held out the possibility of ramping up the action further if progress stalls.You are already subscribed to our newsletter!
