Union President Shawn Fain said more workers could be called on to strike when negotiations continue.

With this, other union employees are now working without a contract agreement. 

“Though the contract is expired, most of your contact is still in effect,” Fain said.

Automakers and the UAW have been negotiating new contracts, with the UAW saying what has been offered isn’t enough. 

The solidarity rally begins at 5 p.m. at 151 W. Jefferson in Detroit. Attendees are asked to arrive at 4 p.m.
