For the first time in the 88-year history of the United Autoworkers Union, its members are on strike against each of the Big Three automakers (Ford, GM and Chrysler maker Stellantis) at the same time.

The three automakers failed to negotiate labor agreements with the UAW before their contracts expired at 11:59 p.m., resulting in the UAW's first strike since 2019.

A little pick-me-up before you go. |
Despite being rejected 11 times, José M. Hernández kept applying for NASA's training program until he was finally accepted in 2004 at 42 years old. He became a certified scuba diver, earned his pilot's license and learned to speak Russian, all in pursuit of his dream of one day becoming an astronaut. Hernández grew up as the son of migrant farm working parents, whom he helped pick produce in the fields of Stockton, California. From those humble beginnings, he reached his lofty goal of making it to space in 2009 when he traveled 14 days as a crew member on the shuttle Discovery on a mission to the International Space Station. Hernández (above, left) and his inspiring journey are being portrayed by actor Michael Peña (right) in the new Amazon Prime Video movie "A Million Miles Away."
