The president of the United Auto Workers says the union is planning to carry out sudden, strategic and partial strikes at plants should contract talks with Detroit's Big Three automakers fail ahead of a contract deadline on Thursday night.
UAW President Shawn Fain also held out the possibility of an all-out strike in the future of the nearly 150,000 union members.
In addition to concerns over pay, workers are worried about what electric vehicles mean for their future.
NPR's Camila Domonoske reports on how the transition to electric vehicles has many autoworkers concerned about their job security.
And Senior White House Correspondent Tamara Keith reports on why the UAW hasn't endorsed President Biden for re-election in 2024.
