On October 10, 2023, the United Auto Workers (UAW) strike against the Detroit Three automakers entered its fourth week. However, there were some positive developments in the negotiations that day.

• GM and Unifor reach tentative agreement in Canada, ending strike. GM and Unifor, the Canadian autoworkers union, reached a tentative agreement on October 7, ending a 10-day strike at three GM plants in Canada. The deal was ratified by Unifor members on October 10.
• UAW President Shawn Fain says GM has made "major breakthrough" in US negotiations. Fain said that GM has agreed to allow workers at joint-venture battery plants to be covered by union contracts. This was a key demand for the UAW, as it would ensure that union workers would be able to build the electric vehicles that are becoming increasingly important to GM's future.
• UAW decides not to expand strike to Arlington Assembly Plant. Fain said that the UAW decided not to expand the strike to its largest plant in the United States, the Arlington Assembly Plant in Texas, because of the progress that had been made in negotiations with GM. The Arlington plant produces the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickup trucks, which are among GM's most popular and profitable vehicles.

The UAW strike against the Detroit Three automakers began on September 15, 2023. The union is seeking a new contract that includes higher wages, better benefits, and greater job security. The strike has had a significant impact on the auto industry, as it has disrupted production at many plants and caused shortages of vehicles in dealerships.The progress that was made in the negotiations on October 10 is a positive sign, but it remains to be seen whether the UAW and the Detroit Three automakers will be able to reach an agreement that satisfies both sides. The strike is now in its fourth week, and it is unclear how long it will last.
