UAW President Shawn Fain announced a new strike deadline of Friday, September 22nd at 12 pm for Ford Motor Company, General Motors, and Stellantis if substantial progress is not made toward a fair agreement. If a deal is not reached by the September 22nd deadline, more UAW locals could be called to join the strikes against the Detroit Big Three automakers. Fain characterized talks with Ford as reasonably productive but did not provide details on talks with GM and Stellantis.
