UAW Chief: More Progress Needed in Auto Talks Before Deal, Warns of Expanded Strikes

UAW President Fain says more progress needed in contract talks with automakers before a deal is reached.

Fain warns that more plants could be struck to pressure companies to improve offers.

GM and Stellantis matched Ford's initial 23% wage increase offer to avoid strike expansion.

Key issues remain around pay raises, benefits, converting temps to full-time, and adding battery plant workers.

Fain criticizes Ford for not improving its offer since UAW strike began, rejects call to partner against Tesla.
