(The Guardian) UAW president says 'no concessions on the table' as he calls on 38 more plants to join strike
Fain called on 38 additional plants across 20 states to join the strike, adding that there are “no concessions on the table”.
The head of the United Auto Workers said: Today at noon Eastern time, all of the parts distribution facilities at General Motors are being called to stand up and strike. We will be striking 38 locations across 20 states across all nine regions of the UAW.
Members will shut down parts distribution until General Motors and Stellanti “come to their senses and come to the table with a serious offer”, he said. -- It’s time to hit the picket lines across the country. It’s time to show the companies that we are united and we are fired up and we are ready for a record contract. It’s time to stand up against corporate greed. It’s time to stand up for our communities. UAW family – I’ll see you on the picket line.
During a livestream update, United Auto Workers president Shawn Fain announced it will expand its strike against parts distribution centers across the country at GM and Stellantis, extending its simultaneous strikes that began with one assembly plant each of the Detroit Three.
By targeting distribution centers, this turns the strike into a nationwide event, Fain said. -- We will be everywhere from California to Massachusetts, from Oregon to Florida.
Fain also invited Joe Biden to join the picket line. On Thursday, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre declined to answer if the president plans to visit a picket line. She said “all parties continuing to be at the negotiating table is a positive. It is important that we result in a win-win agreement.”
