UAW President Shawn Fain expected to announce new strike targets at Ford, General Motors and Stellantis.
For their part, the automakers say they have made , while arguing that the UAW's wage and other demands would make it hard to compete with other car manufacturers.
Union leaders counter that the Big Three reaped hefty profits as car prices jumped during the pandemic, while workers failed to enjoy the same benefits. The UAW striking in weekly waves allows the union to"inflict significant disruption while minimizing the number of workers not receiving paychecks," Benjamin Salisbury, an analyst at Height Capital Markets, said in a report.
The UAW's next targets are likely to include plants that make some of the Big Three's most profitable vehicles, such as the Chevrolet Silverado and Ram pickup trucks, according to experts. "Of note, the auto companies produce trucks at multiple factories," Salisbury said."Therefore the union may select only a few facilities to up the ante but continue work at others to serve as leverage if negotiations worsen."
