UAW Prepares to Expand Strikes

The United Auto Workers (UAW) union strike has halted production at plants in Michigan, Ohio and Missouri, and will announce strikes against more U.S. plants if no progress is made in negotiations, according to a report from Reuters.

The ongoing strike is currently impacting plants that produce the Ford Bronco, Jeep Wrangler and Chevrolet Colorado, alongside other popular models, the report said.
