The UAW is about to put on a spectacular fireworks display in Detroit as they go on strike against the three major automakers in the city. This marks the first time in its history that the union has coordinated a work stoppage this large. The strike began after the unions failed to reach a settlement with the companies before their labor contracts officially expired on Thursday.
Shawn Fain, the UAW president, announced that the union would be striking against the three major automakers at midnight. The targets of the strike are the plants of General Motors in Wentzville, Missouri; Ford in Wayne, Michigan; and a plant of Stellantis in Toledo, Ohio.
The United Auto Workers (UAW) is calling for a strike to protest against President Joe Biden's plan to promote the use of electric cars. The organization has about 150,000 members who are worried that their jobs will be affected by the president's proposal.
While the UAW members are seeing their wages reduced, the executives of the Big Three are still counting their cash due to the tax credits for hybrid vehicles that were included in Biden's inflation reduction act. It seems that the Democrats are more concerned with corporate interests instead of the common good.

The inflation rate has been rising due to the administration's loose money policies and the bloated fiscal policies of the Biden administration. It has been hitting the autoworkers harder than the rest of the country. Despite the high cost of living, the Democrats have tried to blame Putin's invasion of Ukraine and corporations for the situation. They conveniently forget about the sacrifices made by the workers.
Contrary to what many believe, the strike won't cause the economy to go into a tailspin. Jim Farley, the CEO of Ford, said that the company wants to avoid a strike and reach a deal with the UAW. He noted that reaching a settlement could help avoid a full-blown strike in Detroit.
The strike is a bold statement that shows the UAW's anger against Biden and the policies that the Big Three automakers have pursued. It's time for the workers and the executives to put aside their differences and reach a historic deal that will benefit both the company and the workers.
