United Auto Workers striking the General Motors assembly plant in Wentzville, Mo., say they are p for a lengthy walkout. The employees there were joined in their strike Friday by the Stellantis Center in Toledo, Ohio and a Ford plant in Wayne, Mich.

One Wentzville worker who only wanted to be identified as "Pam" said, "I've been preparing for it. I'm used to it, so I'll last a while."


United Auto Worker Chris Rose said he believes it's "probably going to be a long one this time.

"Last time, we were out for two months and we didn't ask for nowhere near what we're asking for this time," said Rose. "The stuff that they brought to the table shows that they are not willing to bargain with us in good faith for what we're worth."

The last strike took place in 2019. This is the first time the UAW has struck all of the big three automakers at the same time.
