The United Auto Workers (UAW) have reportedly struck agreements with each of the Big Three auto manufacturers, hopefully bringing thousands back to work and restarting U.S. automobile production.

The United Auto Workers (UAW) union has been locked in difficult negotiations with America's Big Three for some time. The automakers have thus far declined to meet the union's demands for pay increases and improved conditions for workers. As the union's deadline approaches, it has announced plans for an unprecedented strike against all members of the Big Three at the same time.
