As the deadline soon approaches for Detroit's Big Three automakers to reach contract agreements with the United Auto Workers, experts assess the likelihood of a strike.
The Benchmark Company senior analyst Mike Ward discusses a potential United Auto Workers union strike on The Claman Countdown.automakers repeatedly in recent weeks that his members are prepared to strike against any or all of them if new contract agreements are not in place by next week's deadline, but how likely is it that a work stoppage might occur at Ford, General Motors or Stellantis?
FOX Business spoke with three labor experts to get their take on the matter, and all agreed that at this point, there are multiple scenarios that could play out, and it is very difficult to predict. However, they varied in whether they believe a strike might actually happen when current contracts expire at 11:59 p.m. on Sept. 14.

"I feel like there's a good chance something will happen," said Joshua Murray, assistant professor of sociology at Vanderbilt University and the author of the book "Wrecked: How the American Automobile Industry Destroyed its Capacity to Compete."
"Exactly what – will it really be all three? I'm not sure," he said. "But I wouldn't be surprised at all if a strike happens."
