An industry official predicts suppliers will cut their workforce by about 20% due to the shift from internal-combustion vehicles to electric vehicles.

A majority of GM's large assembly plants voted down the deal. Despite the president selling the agreement as an historic one, many have gone against it. Here's why:

The end of the UAW's historic strike could be near now that all Big Three automakers have tentative deals with the union. General Motors reached a tentative agreement with the UAW on Monday, following Ford and Stellantis.

Any final agreements from GM and Stellantis must be approved by union leaders and voted on by UAW members.

While Ford and the UAW came to a tentative agreement on Wednesday, Stellantis and General Motors strikers are anxiously anticipating their own historic deal.

Analysts say striking facilities are costing car companies millions, while picketing workers receive less than a normal week's income.

The administration is caught between support for unions and the need to make U.S. auto industry more competitive.

The head of the US auto workers union announced Wednesday plans to strike against the three major Detroit automakers, saying the two sides remain far from a new agreement.

Contract talks continue between the UAW and the Big Three as the union and automakers work to come to agreements before Thursday's deadline.

This week's Detroit Auto Show is meant to showcase impressive new electric vehicles, but the fanfare looks destined to be upstaged by a brewing labor dispute and the increasing likelihood of a strike.
