Detroit’s Big Three automakers and the United Auto Workers remained far apart in labor negotiations on Wednesday, less than 48 hours before the union’s deadline to make significant progress or escalate a strike with new work stoppages.
Talks continued between union representatives and company management on the sixth day of a coordinated walkout, a day after Ford averted a strike by Canadian workers.
The UAW has said it will announce strikes against more U.S. plants on Friday if no serious progress is made in talks with automakers by noon EDT on that day.
