The deadline for the UAW International Union and Big Three Automakers (General Motors, Ford Motor Company & Stellantis to reach an agreement is tomorrow, Sept 14th at 11:59 p.m. According to CNBC, if an agreement can't be reached the UAW plans to implement a targeted strike at certain plants across all companies rather than striking one company as they did in 2019 when they went on strike at 50 GM plants.
