The United Auto Workers union is on strike as it negotiates contracts with GM, Ford, and Stellantis.
Workers walked off the job at three factories on Friday as part of a targeted strike.
UAW President Shawn Fain said they're ready to strike at more if no progress is made.

The United Auto Workers and Detroit's Big Three carmakers resumed talks aimed at ending a strike now in its fifth day, and under the threat that the walkout could soon spread.
