In a recent update, United Auto Workers (UAW) boss Shawn Fain used a famous movie clip to convey his stance on the ongoing negotiations with major automakers, The Hill reported.
Fain posted a scene from a 2017 film called “The Hitman's Bodyguard,” on X, earlier known as Twitter. The scene features Samuel L. Jackson shouting an iconic line: "Tick tock, motherf***er!"
This post is presumably a playful jab at automakers Stellantis NV, Ford Motor Company, and General Motors Company as UAW strikes against all three simultaneously for the first time. The union and the auto manufacturers couldn’t reach an agreement by the specified Friday deadline, leading to the strike.
