More than 18,000 auto workers are now on strike at Ford, GM, and Stellantis.
The strike started on Sept. 15, with about 13,000 workers at three factories – a GM plant in Wentzville, Missouri; a Ford plant in Wayne, Michigan, near Detroit; and a Stellantis factory in Toledo, Ohio, that produces Jeeps.
OnFriday, UAW President Shawn Fain said while the union has made significant progress in contract talks with Ford, GM and Stellantis are still largely rejecting their contract demands, prompting the union to expand it strike to every GM and Stellantis parts and distribution center in the U.S. "To be clear, were not done at Ford. We still have serious issues to work through, but we do want to recognize that Ford is showing that they're serious about reaching a deal. At GM and Stellantis, it's a different story," Fain said.
