美国汽车工人联合会和底特律汽车制造商“三巨头”之间的谈判将在周末继续进行，
as the two sides continue their face off in the largest American labor action in decades.

12,700 UAW members stopped working Friday at three factories belonging to General Motors, Ford Motor, and Chrysler's parent company Stellantis.

Central to its demands is the end of what it calls a "two-tier" system for workers,

None of the car companies have proposed eliminating the tiered system.
