On the 25th local time, the United Auto Workers union’s strike against Detroit’s three major automakers entered its 11th day, and the strike wave further expanded.

On the same day, thousands more auto workers joined the strike, and the scale of the strike continued to expand. United Auto Workers President Sean Fein said that negotiations between the union and Ford, one of the three major automakers, have made some progress and may reach an agreement;
