The United Auto Workers union is on strike against General Motors, Ford and Stellantis, the first time in its history that it has struck all three of America’s unionized automakers at the same time.

Workers on Friday walked out of three plants – one each from the Big Three automakers – in Missouri, Michigan and Ohio. Picketers were met with cheers from sign-waving union members.

The UAW referred to its targeted strike of three plants as a “Stand Up Strike,” which it called a strategic “new approach” to walking off the job.

Update (0800ET):

General Motors CEO Mary Barra told CNBC in an interview:

“I’m frustrated and disappointed. We don’t need to be on strike right now.

“We have a very generous offer on the table right now. It’s historic. From a wage increase perspective, it’s the most significant offer we’ve had in our 115-year history.”

Barra warned:

Strikes will “not be good for the economy overall.”

She added:

Strikes can be resolved “very quickly” after a “historic” offer from the automaker.
