Hello, everyone, thank you for joining me. Im fredricka whitfield. There is a new town of talks between striking auto workers and representatives from two of the big three carmakers. The strike is now entering the third full day. Todays talks are expected to be with ford and General Motors. The uaw said it had, quoting now, reasonably productive talks end quote, when it met with ford yesterday. And for the first time ever, workers are striking at plants from gm, ford and stellantis all at the same time. Workers want big pay raises and other benefits after years of concessions during rough times for the industry. The carmakers say despite big profits in recent years, the raises being demanded would drive them out of business. Cnns Vanessa Yurkevich is at a ford plant in wayne, michigan. Vanessa, what are we learning about the talks and whether anyone there on the picket line is optimistic . Reporter so ford and General Motors back at the Negotiating Table with the uaw in detroit.
