The strike was announced just after midnight on Friday, following unsuccessful last-minute negotiations between General Motors, Ford, Stellantis, and the UAW before the contract’s expiration.
UAW President Shawn Fain declared, “Tonight, for the first time in our history, we will strike all three of the Big Three at once,” with strikes occurring at one plant at each company: a GM factory in Wentzville, Missouri; a Stellantis facility in Toledo, Ohio; and a Ford plant in Wayne, Michigan, specifically targeting final assembly and paint operations.
Approximately 12,700 workers participated in the walkout, a fraction of the 150,000 auto workers represented by the UAW. However, the union has indicated that it may expand the strike if the companies do not improve their offers.
The strike presents a challenge for President Joe Biden, who has sought support from organized labor as part of his reelection campaign. The UAW has not yet endorsed Biden, as other major unions have done.
The UAW’s demands include a 40% wage increase to match rising CEO pay, along with improved pay and benefits for junior employees. All three automakers have been highly profitable in recent years.
While GM increased its wage increase offer to 20% just before the strike, the UAW has called for more substantial improvements. Ford, on the other hand, received a counteroffer from the UAW with terms it deemed “unsustainable.”
The union has vowed to continue striking until its demands for economic justice are met, regardless of how long it takes.

Professor Segun Aina, a computer engineering scholar, has officially stepped into his role as the new Registrar for the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB).....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Taking over leadership at the JAMB headquarters in Bwari, Abuja, Aina succeeds Professor Ishaq Oloyede, whose 10-year, two-term tenure concluded on July 31, 2026. Initially approved by President Bola Tinubu on May 21 when Aina was 39, this appointment marks him as the youngest individual ever to lead the examination body.
When the appointment was first announced, Bayo Onanuga, the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, highlighted Aina’s deep background in digital infrastructure, public-sector reforms, and national examination systems, noting his historic milestone as one of Nigeria’s youngest computer engineering professors.
In his inaugural address, Aina acknowledged the foundation laid by his predecessor—who is widely credited with modernizing the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME)—and vowed to expand on those achievements. Emphasizing a strong stance against malpractice, he warned wrongdoers that their illicit activities have no place at JAMB, promising to ramp up modern technological investments and deepen partnerships with security agencies to safeguard the integrity of the admissions process.
