On Friday, the United Auto Workers (UAW) union began a simultaneous strike of Detroit's "Big Three" auto manufacturers, General Motors, Ford, and Jeep-maker Stellantis. The union represents 150,000 workers across the United States and is attempting to negotiate a new contract.

The strike is expected to last until a new contract is agreed upon.
