The United Auto Workers and the Big Three Detroit carmakers are still “far apart” on a new labor contract, with the union considering striking individual plants belonging to the companies if a deal can’t be reached before the deadline, according to people familiar with the discussions.
UAW President Shawn Fain plans to cement the union’s strike plans at 10 p.m. Eastern time on Sept. 14, two hours before the contract officially expires, two people said, asking not to be identified because discussions are private.
