Shawn Fain, president of United Auto Workers, announced Thursday and less than two hours before a looming deadline that the powerful union "will strike all three" Detroit carmakers at once for the first time in history.

An analysis from the Anderson Economic Group says a 10-day walkout on this scale could lead to $5 billion in lost economic activity for the auto industry.
