The United Auto Workers union has announced the expansion of its strike against America's big three car makers. The union will expand its strike to 38 General Motors and Stellantis parts distribution centers at 38 locations in 20 states at Noon on Friday.

The union threatened the action after talks on Thursday yielded no major progress.

The question is whether that stoppage will include the General Motors plant on Lexington Avenue in Rochester. While some of the 700 union workers there have rallied, they've remained on the job.

The has been some movement in negotiations. The union president says it had made “real progress” negotiating a new contract with Ford, but Stellantis and General Motors “need some serious pushing.”

All of this comes after GM and Stellantis announced layoffs at a group of plants because of the strike.
