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.

Shawn Fain, the president of the UAW, is calling for a 32-hour work week at 40 hours of pay for autoworkers, an idea that was first embraced by the union's leaders almost a century ago.

The new UAW president says his members are being left out as the industry transitions to electric vehicles so he's applying pressure on the auto companies and the White House to do more for workers.
