Matt Dusk sings Sinatra in Halifax/PEI/Moncton | SaltWire - The United Auto Workers said on Wednesday that 8,700 union members at Ford's Kentucky Truck Plant went on strike after the union said the No. 2 U.S. automaker refused to move further in contract bargaining.
The decision to strike the company's largest plant is a major escalation in the targeted strike of the Detroit Three automakers now in its fourth week. Ford said the decision is"grossly irresponsible but unsurprising given the union leadership’s stated strategy of keeping the Detroit 3 wounded for months through 'reputational damage' and 'industrial chaos.'”
The UAW on Friday had held off on additional strikes against Detroit Three auto plants on Friday, citing General Motors' unexpected willingness to allow workers at joint-venture battery plants to be covered by union contracts. Before Wednesday's Ford announcement the union had ordered walkouts at five assembly plants, including two Ford plants, at the three companies and 38 parts depots operated by GM and Chrysler-parent Stellantis.
