Workers start strike at US motor industry giants
Three of the biggest US carmakers have seen more than 10,000 staff walkout in the latest industrial action.
Work has stopped at three plants owned by General Motors (GM), Ford and Stellantis.
Labour contracts expired on Thursday night and the union UAW said the firms had not put forward acceptable offers.
The strikes could trigger higher prices for buyers and major disruption for the motor industry giants.
The strike started at midnight eastern time at GM’s Wentzille, Missouri mid-size plant, Ford’s Bronco plant in Michigan and the Jeep plant in Toledo, Ohio owned by Stellantis.
