Shawn Fain, the president of the UAW International Union, will be making an announcement on Facebook Live at 10 a.m. Friday.
One week after UAW workers at three Midwest auto plants went on strike, Shawn Fain, the president of the UAW International Union, is expected to announce on Facebook Live at 10 a.m. Friday whether more automakers will join the picket lines.News 5 livestream event Fain said earlier this week he would call on workers at more plants to strike unless there was significant progress in contract negotiations with the carmakers.
“As long as this goes, the people in UAW Local 1005 are getting more and more stronger and energized and we’re willing to take this thing as long as it needs to be,” said UAW 1005 Local President, Dan Schwartz. UAW 1005 Local is based in Parma and represents, among others, workers at the GM plant there.
“I mean, fair is fair, they’re making millions of dollars a year, and we’re struggling to make 60 and 70,” said GM Parma stamping plant worker Paul Tibbs.Friday’s decision is a crucial one for Fain, who won a close election in March to unseat the previous UAW president. He has followed an unusual strategy of negotiating simultaneously with all three of Detroit’s big carmakers.
