(Detroit) The union of employees of the three major American automobile manufacturers announced the start of a strike in three factories from midnight Thursday (0 a.m. [heure de l’Est] Friday), in the absence of an agreement reached with these companies for the new collective agreements.
“The strike begins in the three designated factories” announced the United Auto Workers (UAW), which had announced a little earlier that it had chosen three factories – one from each of the three groups General Motors, Stellantis and Ford – to launch this movement , urging union members from other sites to be ready as negotiations evolve.
