Workers are on strike at all 3 Detroit auto makers for the first time in their union’s history

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:03:17 GMT

DETROIT (AP) — About 13,000 U.S. auto workers stopped making vehicles and went on strike Friday after their leaders couldn’t bridge a giant gap between union demands in contract talks and what Detroit’s three automakers are willing to pay.Members of the United Auto Workers union began picketing at a General Motors assembly plant in Wentzville, Missouri; a Ford factory in Wayne, Michigan, near Detroit; and a Stellantis Jeep plant in Toledo, Ohio.It was the first time in the union’s 88-year history that it walked out on all three companies simultaneously as four-year contracts expired at 11:59 p.m. Thursday.The strikes will likely chart the future of the union and of America’s homegrown auto industry at a time when U.S. labor is flexing its might and the companies face a historic transition from building internal combustion automobiles to making electric vehicles.If they last a long time, dealers could run short of vehicles and prices could rise, impacting a U.S. econom...

The good news is they’ll get the opportunity to bounce back each of the next three days.Baltimore opened its critical series with the Tampa Bay Rays with a 4-3 loss Thursday night, leaving the Orioles with a one-game lead in the American League East. But with three contests to go in the weekend matchup, they have the ability to make up for it.“We’re not going to sit too hard on it,” rookie infielder Gunnar Henderson said. “We’ve started off a series with a loss before, so we’re just going to go out there and continue to play hard and put ourselves in a good position to win a ball game.”The Orioles have now lost the first game in 16 of their 48 series, but they came back to win six of the first 15 while splitting two others.

Devin McCourty unsurprised but impressed with how Patriots replaced him at free safety

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:03:17 GMT

FOXBORO — The Patriots proved that no one player can replace retired safety Devin McCourty on Sunday.For the first time in 13 years, we saw what a Patriots defense without McCourty looks like, and while the end result of the game obviously could have been better, the strategy of free safety-by-committee overall went well. The defense allowed just 18 points in the 25-20 loss to one of last year’s most high-powered offenses and held Jalen Hurts and Co. to just one touchdown.So, who replaced McCourty?
