UAW auto strike: Week 4 begins on more positive note; Nearing ‘record contract?’
The United Auto Workers’ strike against Detroit’s Big Three automakers entered its fourth week on a much more positive note Monday after negotiations made decent progress last week.
On Friday, Oct. 6, UAW President Shawn Fain decided not to expand the union’s strike at General Motors, Ford Motor Company and Stellantis like he had done the two Fridays prior.

The Michigander who killed a sitting US president. No, the other one
Over the roughly 250 years the United States has been a country, there has been only one president who hailed from the Great Lakes State.
However, Michigan has a darker, and arguably more impactful connection to the presidency. Only four U.S. presidents have been assassinated. Half were killed by Michiganders.
The first president to have been assassinated was Abraham Lincoln, who was killed by a Confederate sympathizer from Maryland in 1865. Less than two decades later, President James A. Garfield was killed by a deeply unstable Ann Arbor dropout in 1881. Almost exactly 20 years later, President William McKinley was killed by a Detroiter in 1901.
