Detroit Three's South Korean partners are reportedly getting nervous because of substantial wage increases the UAW demands for U.S. battery plant workers.
The United Auto Workers strikes that started more than a month ago have been a major disruption for Detroit's Big Three automakers. Logistics issues and costs aside – GM revealed on its Q3 2023 earnings call this week that every week of strikes costs it $200 million – the strikes also risk hurting Detroit Three's agreements with major South Korean battery makers.
General Motors has also announced a battery plant with Samsung SDI in New Carlisle, Indiana. Construction on the $3 billion facility is estimated to start next year; when complete, it will have 1,700 employees. Ford and SK On have two mega battery plants under construction in Glendale, Kentucky as part of the BlueOval SK joint venture and Stanton, Tennessee , as part of the BlueOval City joint venture; the latter site will also build electric trucks.
