Sounds radical, right? Join us for a riveting discussion on the United Auto Workers' strike that's shaking up the industry, demanding this seismic shift in pay and work hours. We delve into the ripple effects of these demands, from how they could deplete the strike fund to the possibility of steering consumers away from the Detroit Three. The stakes are high and the impact of this strike is far-reaching. In our second segment, we take you inside the communities where the closure of auto plants is more than just a headline - it's a livelihood at risk. With the UAW mounting an unprecedented strike against GM, Ford, and Stalannis, we share stories of the thousands whose daily bread is tied to these plants and how the Detroit Three's market share has influenced closures. We also give you a snapshot of dealer responses, and for a change of pace, we’ll catch up on the race season, with Erica Enders leading in Pro Stock and the upcoming Bristol night races.Finally, we slide open the doors of the top-producing auto assembly plants in the U.S., giving you a unique insight into their operations, their production numbers, and the real-life effect of the UAW strike on their workforce.
