UAW President Shawn Fain provides strike update ahead of Week 6 of strike

(CBS DETROIT) - United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain provided an update on the ongoing strike with Detroit's Big Three automakers Friday. 

CBS News Detroit had live coverage of Fain's announcement and automotive industry expert analysis. 

Friday's announcement came after Fain said last week he would no longer wait until Fridays to announce strike expansions. 

As the strike soon enters its sixth week, Stellantis, General Motors and Ford continue to announce layoffs. 

Ahead of Fain's announcement, GM issued its latest offer to the union, calling for a reinstatement of the cost-of-living adjustment and a 25% compounded wage increase.
