Fain said workers have made progress in negotiations with Ford since a targeted strike began at the Big Three auto companies last week, according to The Hill.

“At GM and Stellantis, it’s a different story,” Fain said. “We invite and encourage everyone who supports our case to join us on the picket line, from our friends and families all the way up to the president of the United States. We invite you to join us in our fight.”
