with less than 7 hours until the united autoworkers' union contract expires, a strike at at least oneoit three awe to makers is looking more and more -- automakers is looking more and more likely, almost inevitable. the latest offers from ford and general motors include a 20% bump in pay over the 4 years of the contract with additional cost of living increases. but that's a long way from the 46% pay raise the uaw initially asked for. ford, general motors and jeep and chrysler maker stellantis say they're putting generous offers forward and negotiating in good faith. here's ford's ceo, or jim farley, moments ago. >> it would bankrupt the company. >> yeah, there's no way we can -- that's why for the last two weeks we've been putting realistic offers on that we can actually invest in the future. there's no way we can pay people $300,000 to work 4-day workweeks. we would have lost $15 billion and closed most of our plants in the last couple years. that's not a future. >> reporter: how hopeful are you that you'll be able to reach a deal before the deadline tonight? >> i'm very hopeful, and

is he's not really fluent in this language and been out there attacking the head of the united autoworkers unionder. i don't think it's his first language to talk to labor about why labor need to get what it deserves in a negotiation with business. and only so much of this can be ascribed to public policy. but i think that is where he sees the opening there. >> but, at the margins, if he's pulling off a couple percentage points here and there from traditional democratic voters, it's a win for him, whether or not he can speak to language or not. i want to ask you, josh, actually both of you, the back and forth on abortion that we have seen in the republican primary has been fascinating based on historical precedent but also what it means for now. i want to play what former president trump said and then the response from ron desantis. >> desantis is willing to sign a five-week and six-week ban. >> would you support that? >> i think what he did is a terrible thing and terrible mistake. other than certain parts of the country, you can't -- you're not going to win on this issue. but you will win on t

let's remember the united autoworkers union has 146,000 people within its union.n places and certain parts of the business. if all 146,000 were to go on strike, it would be absolutely massive. it's the first time the uaw has had a strike against all three of the major auto manufacturers in the united states. so clearly motor city or detroit is really feeling the impact of this, and a lot of those operations are beginning to slow down. production is beginning to drop and the costs thereof are set to skyrocket which will impact all of those companies. >> an ongoing story and one we'll keep providing updates on err day. cnbc's arabile gumede live from london. thank you as always. >>> still ahead on "way too early," house republicans are moving forward with their impeachment inquiry into president biden. we'll take a look at the next steps lawmakers say they'll take, and we'll hear what the commander in chief had to say in response.

. >>> turning to the looming strike threat by the united autoworkers union against the big three automakerse biden administration says it's closely monitoring the situation, and maryalice parks is joining us now from the white house with more. maryalice, good morning to you. >> reporter: whit, good morning. this president likes to call himself the most pro-union president, and the line from the west wing this week has been, we believe in collective bargaining. a senior white house aide told me that the president wants to make sure the unions know he has their backs and that they don't feel pressured to take a deal that they don't like. the president is closely monitoring all of this, but i do get the sense that they are trying to keep it a bit at an arm's length. yesterday we saw stellantis that owns chrysler present a counteroffer. they were the last of the big three manufacturers to do so. the offer was for about 14.5% raises for most employees over the life of these new four-year contracts, but like we saw with the other offers, the uaw president took to social media and really mocked th

. >> reporter: the united autoworkers union and its 150,000 members still threatening to strike if thethree car manufacturers do not meet demands for significant raises. >> it's not that we're looking to strike. it's just that we're looking for a fair contract. >> reporter: a mother of two, she hopes to buy a house. >> there's no house that would fit me and my two children that is affordable right now with the wages that i make. >> reporter: the uaw is demanding help with inflation costs, guarantees for future union jobs, and a 40% raise increase for most workers over four years. it's the latest in a growing trend of unions flexing their muscle and demanding double-digit raises for workers. this last year, u.p.s., part-time workers, american, and delta airline workers, and west coast dockworkers have all demanded and secured raises over 30%. marcy pedraza, an electrician of almost 11 years, is a single mom. >> if the members' demands are met, it would make a huge impact on quality of life for all working families. >> reporter: friday stellantis offered over 14% raises telling employees

for the first time in history, the united autoworkers union is striking against all big three automakers at once. the strike became official overnight when that midnight deadline hit without a deal. the white house announcing this morning that the president will give remarks about this from washington sometime today. nbc's shaquille brewster is in toledo, ohio, and also with us, roben farzad host of public radio's "full disclosure." shaq, remind us what the workers want, and has there been any movement on these negotiations since the strike was announced overnight? >> reporter: good morning. there has not been any movement. that is why the workers are out here. ahead of the deadline, the uaw president said you can't expect this to be resolved quickly. you have the workers out here, they're saying they're in this for the long haul. what are they asking for? the big demand that you know is that wage increase. they came in asking for that 46% increase in wages over four years. there are plenty of other measures, though, things that address their cost of living, more vacation time, more time

. >>> this morning, nearly 13,000 autoworkers remain on strike as members of the united autoworkers unionact. some of the key union demands included 40% hourly pay increase over four years, reduced weekly hours and pension reform, among other issues. discussions between the two sides resumed this weekend, but uaw president shawn fain, on "morning joe" said the union may have to ramp up pressure. >> amping up just means we have a lot of members out there that are frustrated and fed up and ready to take a action. you know, if the companies don't respond to the members' demands we have to do what we have to do. >> over the weekend there were no discussions on friday, but on saturday, there was talk that some of the three companies were resuming their a talks with the uaw. it's important to state that it doesn't have to be all three carmakers at one time agreeing. it could be just one at a time. so far, no agreement with anyone. maggie vespa joins us this morning. has there been any movement this morning? >> reporter: jose, nothing substantial or really nothing kind of meaningful as shawn fai

. >> so that is the president of the united autoworkers union and this morning the countdown is on for59 tonight to reach an agreement or thousands 6 workers could walk off the job. but talks are not going well and now the union president is announcing plans for a targeted strike at a limited number of plants that could grind auto production to a halt. vanessa yurkevich is joining us live in detroit. he was so candid in that talk and now a targeted strike. what does that actually mean? >> reporter: yeah, less than 24 hours, still time to reach a deal, but it is not looking good. president fain laying out the unique targeted strike approach, something we hadn't seen since the late 1990s. essentially the national union would call on select local unions at various plants at various times over various days and ask them only those unions to go out on strike leaving others working at the plants. part of this is to keep the company guessing and part of this is to conserve the strike fund for workers. but this could come at some risk because those workers that are still left working at the pla

this, of course, as the united autoworkers union remains steadfast in their demands of higher wages andonger benefits. the union president coming in and saying they are making progress with ford. he's saying the automakers are showing that they're serious about reaching a deal. in a statement, ford saying there are still significant gaps to close on the key economic issues, but workers say when it comes to stellantis and gm that they have not gone far enough with their offers. stellantis issuing a statement saying that it questions if the union's leadership wants to reach an agreement in a timely manner. in any case, president joe biden is expected to join the picket lines in michigan come tuesday, announcing his solidarity with the union, and of course, all of this coming with those concerns when you talk about car shoppers heading out to maybe your auto repair shop. you might start seeing those direct trickle-down effects any time now within the next couple of weeks if this all keeps going, and of course, the other people deeply impacted by this, those picketers and their families. gi

the united autoworkers union's historic simultaneous picket against detroit's big three auto companies this morning after both sides failed to reach labor agreements and jobina. now the strike is threatening the livelihoods of workers who have not walked off the job. >> yes. so this morning, nearly 13,000 autoworkers are returning to the picket line. the united auto workers pressing ahead with its first ever simultaneous strike against detroit's big three automakers. the uaw says it held negotiations with general motors and ford over the weekend, reporting reasonably productive conversations with ford, chrysler and jeep's parent company. stellantis says it's raised its hourly wage offer by nearly 21. but that's still not enough for the uaw, which is demanding that the big three revive worker pensions and better retiree benefits, cost of living adjustments and a 40% pay increase as they can barely make it. >> they deserve a living wage and they need to be brought up to what we make the automakers called the union's demands too costly as it takes on the added expense of building electric
