Striking auto workers target 38 new GM and Stellantis plants as strike enters second week

• The United Auto Workers union expanded its strike on Friday, as the stoppage entered a second week. 
• Negotiations had progressed at Ford, the UAW said, so the automaker was spared from new strikes. 
• Striking workers are asking for pay raises and calling attention to how much their CEOs make.

The president of the United Auto Workers said Friday the union will expand its strike against major automakers by walking out of 38 General Motors and Stellantis plants in 20 states.
