The UAW announced a big expansion to its strike, delivering a harsh blow to GM and Stellantis while sparing Ford. | Economy
John CarneyThe United Auto Workers union is expanding its strike to 38 more facilities owned by General Motors and Stellantis. The facilities are located in 20 states across the U.S.
The escalation will spare Ford Motor Co. UAW President Shawn Fain praised Ford in a Fadebook live stream on Friday for showing it is “serious about reaching a deal.” The union is currently on strike at one Ford factory in Michigan. The strike, which began Sept. 14, is the first time the UAW has staged walkouts at all three of the Big Three automakers at the same time.
