Protest outside Ford plant as US auto workers' union launches historic strike

Description

Members of the United Auto Workers' (UAW) union picket and hold signs outside a Ford assembly plant in Wayne, Michigan, on the first day of a historic strike that is ordering simultaneous stoppages at Detroit's "Big Three" for the first time. The dramatic walkout -- marked outside a Detroit-area Ford plant with rowdy honking and cheers at the arrival of the United Auto Workers' leader -- came after a last-minute push by General Motors, Ford and Stellantis failed to produce an agreement before a contract's expiration.
