After United Auto Workers rejected all three offers from Detroit's "Big Three" automakers - General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis, the producer of Chrysler - last week, the union said they're now ready to negotiate.
As quoted by Bloomberg, UAW President Shawn Fain stated, "We are ready to negotiate in Detroit 24/7, just as we have been for the past seven weeks since we gave them our Members Demands."
Fain continued, "Despite receiving no response for over a month, when the CEOs are ready to make a serious offer, we'll be there, day or night."
Bloomberg said UAW officials already met with the automakers on Monday. The union boss said, "Things are moving but they're moving very slow, and we've got a long way to go in four days."
Thursday is the deadline for a new four-year labor agreement for approximately 146,000 workers. A strike will follow shortly after that if a labor deal is not agreed upon.
