Ford Motor Co. called the UAW's decision to add 8,700 more members to the strike “grossly irresponsible' in a statement.
On Wednesday, the union called on members at the Ford Kentucky Truck Assembly Plant to join the strike.
Kentucky Truck Assembly Plant, which makes heavy-duty pickups and large SUVs, is Ford's largest and most profitable plant. It brings in about $25 billion a year. Fain is expected to give a strike update at 10 a.m., where he could direct more members to the picket line, depending on the status of negotiations."The decision by the UAW to call a strike at Ford’s Kentucky Truck Plant 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 leadership’s decision to reject this record contract offer – which the UAW has publicly described as the best offer on the table – and strike Kentucky Truck Plant, carries serious consequences for our workforce, suppliers, dealers and commercial customers.
