HOUSTON (ICIS)–The United Auto Workers (UAW) union will expand its strike to two Ford and GM assembly plants at 16:00 GMT (noon EST) as negotiations with the Big Three automakers continue.
About 7,000 workers at Ford’s Chicago Assembly Plant and GM’s Lansing Delta Township will begin to strike today, UAW President Shawn Fain said during a live stream.
Fain said the union is taking no additional action against Stellantis as that company has made significant progress in a cost-of-living allowance, the right not to cross a picket line as well as the right to strike over product commitments, plant closures, and outsourcing moratoriums.
