UAW chief: Union to strike any Detroit automaker that hasn't reached deal as contracts end next week

A strike against all three major automakers - General Motors, Stellantis and Ford - could cause damage not only to the industry as a whole but also to the Midwest and even national economy, depending on how long it lasted. The auto industry accounts for about 3% of the nation's economic output. A prolonged strike could also lead eventually to higher vehicle prices.
