Ford, General Motors and Stellantis all laid off more workers as the United Auto Workers strike against Detroit's Big Three automakers entered its fourth week.
The United Auto Workers strike against Detroit's Big Three continues to hit production at the automakers, leading Ford, General Motors and Stellantis to each lay off more workers this week. GM on Monday announced additional layoffs of nearly 200 workers, while Stellantis and Ford reported cuts of another 570 and 70 employees, respectively, as the limited strike entered its fourth week. Total strike-related layoffs have now reached around 2,300 at GM, which has been hardest hit by the strike.
Around 25,000 of the 150,000 UAW members employed by the Big Three are on strike, but shutdowns at critical assembly plants is eliminating work at other factories, contributing to the layoffs. ‘STRIKETOBER’ RETURNS WITH VENGEANCE The strike is also prompting layoffs at suppliers and in related industries. According to Michigan economic consulting firm Anderson Economic Group , the UAW's strike has already cost the U.S. economy more than any other auto industry strike this century.
