The United Auto Workers expanded its strike against Ford and GM, but not Stellantis after the company formerly known as Chrysler made last-minute concessions.
Labor supporters and UAW members walk along a picket line during a strike outside of the Stellantis Chrysler Los Angeles Parts Distribution Center in Ontario, Calif., on Sept. 26, 2023.The United Auto Workers expanded its historic strike against General Motors and Ford by adding two additional assembly plants, ramping up pressure on the companies to come to a new contract deal.
The automakers' most profitable vehicles, full-size pickup trucks, continue to be unaffected, and the plants that would have the biggest ripple effects on supply chains are also not yet targets for work stoppages.Fain, in a Facebook Live appearance, compared the union's strike to World War II, saying that the workers of America are once again"the arsenal of democracy.""Just like 80 years ago, today our union is building a different arsenal of democracy," he said.
"We still have not received a comprehensive counteroffer from UAW leadership to our latest proposal made on September 21," he wrote."Calling more strikes is just for the headlines, not real progress." In another unusual move, the strike started small – just three assembly plants, leaving most of the automakers' production untouched.
The UAW's strike comes at a time of heightened union activity across the U.S.. with some workers winning big new contracts, including UPS drivers and airline pilots.
