Union leader Shawn Fain says he is fighting against "poverty wages" and "greedy CEOs."

Union negotiators continued talks with representatives from General Motors, Ford and the Jeep-maker Stellantis today, as a historic strike by workers at America's top three car manufacturers entered the fourth day.
