UAW escalates strike against lone holdout GM after landing tentative pacts with Stellantis and Ford

The United Auto Workers union has expanded its strike against General Motors (GM) after reaching a tentative contract agreement with Stellantis. The escalated walkout began at a Tennessee plant, GM's largest in North America, just hours after the Stellantis deal was reached. The strike now includes around 22,000 workers at GM factories in Texas, Michigan, Missouri and Tennessee. The UAW wants to wrap up negotiations with all three automakers to avoid potential deal rejection by workers at Ford and Stellantis.
