TL;DR Summary
The United Auto Workers (UAW) strike continues into its fourth day as negotiations between the UAW and the Big Three automakers (General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis) remain at a standstill. The strike has resulted in job cuts, with Ford sending 600 workers home and General Motors warning of 2,000 workers being out of work. The UAW is demanding a 40% pay increase, along with improvements in pensions, cost of living adjustments, and quality of life. President Biden has dispatched officials to assist with negotiations, but progress has been slow. Talks are set to continue on Monday.
