#UAW workers vote to strike against Big Three automakers if they don't get 'fair deal'

The #UnitedAutoWorkers (UAW) union said Friday that an overwhelming majority of workers at the Big Three automakers — #Ford, #GeneralMotors and #Stellantis, formerly #Chrysler — voted to authorize a strike if they don't get "a fair deal" in contract negotiations.

"The Big Three's race to the bottom ends on September 14," UAW President Shawn Fain said Friday.

The #UnitedAutoWorkers has a new president, Shawn Fain, who is promising a more militant approach to contract negotiations and a renewal of #UAW political activism. The challenges for the #unions are steep.
