The strike now includes 38 warehouses in 20 states. President Biden is expected to speak in Michigan to support the UAW. The strike could impact Americans who drive Jeeps and Chevy Silverados. The union is seeking a 36% wage increase over four years, improved retirement benefits, and more paid time off. Automakers are offering raises of around 20% over four years.
