The United Auto Workers' targeted strike against the Big Three automakers is about gradually ramping up pressure on the automakers while also stretching out the union's strike fund.

Third-generation UAW worker Eric Mullins can see what the union is fighting for, up close and personal, including the same pay as longer-tenured coworkers — and the same retirement his dad will have.

Historic as the UAW strikes may be, analysts say the actions are unlikely to impact car prices too much — for now. A new strike on parts distribution centers, however, could sting.

Former President Donald Trump won't be at the second Republican debate, unsurprisingly. His counter-programming this time involves union autoworkers, engaged in a strike against Detroit automakers.

For the first time ever, the UAW launched a strike against all Big 3 automakers at once, starting with three locations in the Midwest.

The United Auto Workers could strike at targeted auto plants before expanding the walkouts to additional locations if the union and the Detroit Three automakers fail to reach a new contract.
