US Auto Workers Go on StrikeOn Friday, thousands of workers at three of the largest US car companies went on strike. The workers are part of the United Auto Workers union, and they’re looking for better pay and job security, as car companies make the move to electric cars. The United Auto Workers (UAW) is a large union that represents around 150,000 workers at US car-making companies. But instead of having all of its workers strike, the UAW has started by only having workers at certain factories go on strike. Tesla pays its workers much less than UAW workers make now, and the company has fought hard to keep its workers from joining a union.
