junior >> junior. the ceos making billions of dollars. and we're still we can't even afford the cars we build tonight. >> we have a front row seat to history for the first time ever, the united auto workers are striking at the nation's big three automakers all at the same time. and the pickets are happening right now with the union president right in the mix of it all. >> this action is all coming within the past couple of hours. we're also seeing uaw members walk off the job at a ford plant in wayne, michigan, and the gm assembly plant in wentzville, missouri. good evening. i'm amanda and i'm julian glover. >> the strike is historic in

many ways. it could carry some major financial impacts for some of the country's largest companies and the overall economy. >> it's now the latest of several labor strikes that we are seeing across the us, and that's why we're taking a deep dive at 11 to get you up to speed on the strike action that could impact you in the days ahead. >> union. union 1990. tonight, members of the united auto workers union are picketing. instead of picking up tools, their contract expired at midnight. no deal was reached with detroit's big three automakers tonight, for the first time in our history, we will strike all three of the big three at once. >> the uaw president is not backing down in the fight with ford, general motors and stellantis, formerly chrysler members want a 40% increase in wages and stronger benefits like cost of living adjustments, more paid time off pensions and an increase in retiree pay. >> well, we want to bring back

the american dream. we work hard and it's time for us to get what we deserve. we just want our fair share, plain and simple. >> profits for the big three are soaring. they brought in $21 billion in the first six months of this year alone. abc's terry moran asking ford ceo about his own pay increase, something union members underscore as a sign of hypocrisy. >> they're asking about ceo pay. yours the ceo made 20 million and they save 40% increase since the last contract. why can't they get a 40% increase? well i think, first of all, we are offering an incredible unpressed increase, but we can't even get any feedback from the uaw about what they want. >> all they want is for everyone to make $300,000. that's not sustainable. we'll go bankrupt if we do that. >> ford and gm offering a new 20% wage increase just half of what the union is looking for. stellantis offering 17.5. there are ten states from michigan to texas with union plants for all

three automakers that could be impacted depending on how long this strike continues. and tonight, cnn is reporting the president of the uaw says no bargaining will be happening tomorrow, on friday. and in terms of any immediate economic effects, we've not seen any so far. stock markets in asia all trading up this morning. future shares in the us stock market also heading up into friday. we've seen numerous high profile strikes this year, which has led some to call this labor's hot strike summer. >> it's why it's tonight's abc seven deep dive at 11. the oakland teachers walked out. taylor swift was asked to postpone her concerts at of respect to striking workers in los angeles, more notably she the dual strikes by sag-aftra and wga have all but brought hollywood to a halt. experts say some of the unrest can be tied to the pandemic. >> the rise in workers striking since the pandemic is significant and again, think it

goes back to the fact that the pandemic ruptured the status quo. and when you are in the midst of a crisis where a lot of things that you took for granted have become unraveled, you also recognize that this is an opportunity to make changes, to move yourself forward. >> as for all these labor actions potentially doing damage to the economy, it might not be as bad as one might think. the increase of strikes is an interesting sign of unrest in the labor market. >> and you might think that having a lot of strikes would disrupt out industries and whole sectors to the detriment of economic well-being. but in fact, history shows that that is not really the case. there are very few labor actions which have seriously disrupted in the long term. >> another factor could be the size of the companies. many of them are absolute giants and with the power of collective bargaining, workers have little hope of making gains and

tonight, more than 60,000 kaiser permanente workers have voted to authorize a strike if there is no contract agreement by the end of the month. >> if a strike does happen, it would be the largest health care strike in us history. kaiser workers across seven different states are demanding new contracts. workers want better pay and for the company to address staffing, staffing shortages. kaiser says there are two bargaining sessions with the union next week. kaiser telling us it's committed to reaching an agreement that ensures market competitive pay before that contract expires on september the 30th. and we will keep an eye on all of these labor actions as they work through each step of their contract negotiations. you could be in the know as soon as news breaks with alerts just like these sent right to your phone and all you have to do is download the abc's seven news bay area app and be sure to turn on those push alert notification options. >> we are gearing up for that weekend. so let's check in with abc seven news meteorologist sandhya patel for what to expect in our 24 hour accuweather

live for us in the newsroom. and tim, oakland really dropped the ball here, but other cities are standing to get some of that money. >> yeah, julian, you're absolutely right. several other bay area cities and institutions get did get their applications in and have grant money approved. that includes here in san francisco as well as san jose, each of which got millions of dollars. oakland has lost a chance to receive millions of dollars to help fight retail crime in the city. the reason why? because city officials missed a deadline to apply for a special state grant. >> we need every nickel and dime that we can get, but by us not applying, i can't believe we would miss that opportunity. >> oakland city council member noel gayo tells me the city is currently suffering through multiple crises. the worst he says he's ever seen in his lifetime, where the city administrator make making excuses that we didn't apply on time or submit the proper work. >> that's just an excuse that the residents and businesses are not going to accept. >> state officials say oakland blamed their late application on a technical issue. a

employees are afraid and so they are having a tough time and making a tough decision. >> some city leaders say they're going to petition governor newsom's office to try and get oakland some of the money. it missed out on a plan chan supports and one he hopes isn't too little too late when we're hearing other cities getting billions and billions of dollars and we missed out. >> are you kidding me? >> and just in the past 20 minutes, the oakland chapter of the naacp issued a statement calling this a, quote, devastating blow. another interesting thing, the city told us was that they plan to formally hire someone who will help them with future grant applications actions. the city says that person will help centralize and streamline the process. for oakland in the newsroom, tim johns, abc seven news. >> this is quite the mix up here. we appreciate the coverage . thank you, tim. and we will have much more on this tomorrow. governor newsom's office will be holding a news conference with the chp as well as a san francisco police chief for the san francisco police chief, bill scott, and also da brooke jenkins. that's all happening at
