UAW International President Shawn Fain is expected to announce at 10 a.m. Friday an expansion of the union's strike against Detroit Three automakers which could include workers at Ford's Kentucky Truck Plant.

You can watch Fain's speech below or on the UAW's Facebook page.

Strikes started last Thursday at 11:59 p.m. During the first week, UAW members struck three facilities: Ford Michigan Assembly Plant (Final Assembly and Paint only) in Wayne, Stellantis Toledo Assembly Complex in Ohio and General Motors Wentzville Assembly in Missouri.

Fain is expected to announce new targets where strikes will occur, absent tentative labor agreements with the automakers, starting at noon Friday.
