According to the search results, the United Auto Workers Union began striking earlier this month when 13,000 workers at General Motors (GM), Stellantis, and Ford walked off the job to pressure the automakers for more pay, better working conditions, and the restoration of traditional pensions. The strikes are limited for now to three assembly plants: a GM factory in Wentzville, Missouri, a Ford plant in Wayne, Michigan, near Detroit, and a Jeep plant run by Stellantis in Toledo, Ohio. The strikes are the first time in the unions 88-year history that it walked out on all three companies simultaneously as four-year contracts expired at 11:59 p.m. Thursday.
