In an \u2062announcement on Friday, Fain revealed\u200c that while progress has been made in negotiations with Ford, talks with General Motors and\u2062 Stellantis have hit a roadblock.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to this announcement, the strike was\u2064 limited to just\u2063 one Ford plant, one GM facility,\u2062 and one Stellantis plant. However, the UAW has now extended the strike \u2064to include all GM and Stellantis \u2063parts distribution facilities. This bold move has \u2064brought the total number of striking \u200bfacilities to an impressive 38 locations \u2062across 20 states.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>&#8220;We Won&#8217;t Wait \u200bForever&#8221;: UAW President Calls\u200d for Fair \u200dContracts<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;As we&#8217;ve said for weeks, \u2063we&#8217;re not going to wait around forever for a fair\u2064 contract \u2062at the Big Three,&#8221; \u200bdeclared Fain during the announcement. \u200c&#8221;The companies\u2062 know \u200chow to\u2063 make this right.
