About 8,700 union members at the Ford Kentucky Truck Assembly Plant were added to the UAW strike Wednesday.
About 8,700 union members at the Ford Kentucky Truck Assembly Plant walked off the job. The truck 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.Now, roughly ⅓ of Ford's production has been impacted by the strike., so Wednesday's addition came as a surprise.
At that point, all Big Three automakers - Ford, GM, and Stellantis - had made enough progress in negotiations to avoid having more facilities targeted. "Ford made an outstanding offer that would make a meaningful positive difference in the quality of life for our 57,000 UAW-represented workers, who are already among the best compensated hourly manufacturing workers anywhere in the world. In addition to our offer on pay and benefits, Ford has been bargaining in good faith this week on joint venture battery plants, which are slated to begin production in the coming years.
