The [[2007 General Motors strike]] was a strike from September 24 to 26, 2007, by the UAW against General Motors.

On September 24, 2007, General Motors workers represented by the UAW union went on strike against the company. The first US-wide strike against GM since 1970 was expected to idle 59 plants and facilities for an indefinite period of time. Talks broke down after more than 20 straight days of bargaining failed to produce a new contract. Major issues that proved to be stumbling blocks for an agreement included wages, benefits, job security and investments in US facilities.<ref>{{cite news | url=https://money.cnn.com/2007/09/24/news/companies/gm_uaw_strikedeadline/ | title=73,000 workers walk in nationwide GM strike | last=Isidore | first=Chris | work=[[CNN]] | date=September 24, 2007 | archive-date=March 27, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190327085621/https://money.cnn.com/2007/09/24/news/companies/gm_uaw_strikedeadline/?postversion=2007092412 | url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news | url=https://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/25/business/25auto.html | title=73,000 U.A.W.
