The US auto workers union expands its strikes against General Motors and Stellantis to their entire spare parts distribution network in a spat over pay.
The additional measures mean about 56-hundred workers join the nearly 13-thousand already on strike. The United Automobile Workers union has also invited President Joe Biden to come to the picket lines. The standoff is fueling worries about prolonged industrial action that could disrupt production and dent US economic growth. This comes as a recent poll showed significant support by Americans for the striking auto workers that seek fair working conditions.
