U.S. auto workers' union the UAW called a strategic strike at the stroke of midnight Thursday night, September 14. Three American plants are now idle.
With no new agreement in place between the three major U.S. automakers and the UAW union representing workers, the current four-year contract expired at midnight.
This is the first time that workers at the three major American automakers have gone on strike simultaneously. Among other demands, the union is asking for a 40-percent pay rise over four years . Negotiations have stalled in recent hours, this despite automakers increased their contract proposals to record levels, including increases of up to 20 percent.
