The National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation has released a legal notice to thousands of autoworkers who may be impacted if United Auto Workers (UAW) union officials issue a strike order this week. UAW President Shawn Fain has threatened to order workers from Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis, the “Big 3” unionized American automakers, off the job if new contracts aren’t struck by Thursday, September 14.
