Around 13,000 workers at three assembly plants of General Motors (GM), Ford and Stellantis in the United States went on strike this morning, due to the lack of consensus on a new collective bargaining agreement.
It is the first time that the factories of the Big Three of Detroit, as the three companies in the automobile industry are known, have gone on strike simultaneously.
The president of the United Auto Workers union, Shawn Fein, announced at 11:00 p.m. Thursday (3:00 a.m. today in Lisbon) that workers at the GM assembly plant in Wentzville, Missouri, the Stellantis factory in Toledo, Ohio, and the Ford factory in Wayne, Michigan, would be the first to go on strike.
