- The UAW union has launched a groundbreaking simultaneous strike at Ford, GM, and Stellantis plants due to deadlocked negotiations on wages and job security.
- President Joe Biden, UAW President Shawn Fain, and key auto industry leaders have entered into discussions to find a resolution.
- The strikes are already impacting the wider auto industry, and further consequences, including on vehicle prices, may follow if a resolution isn't found quickly.
In an unprecedented move, the United Auto Workers (UAW) union has initiated simultaneous strikes at the plants of three major Detroit carmakers—Ford, GM, and Stellantis—over unsettled issues of wages and job security.
The strikes commenced at the steroidal Ford's Michigan plant for the famed Bronco SUV, GM's Missouri factory that produces the beloved Chevy Colorado pickup, and Stellantis' Ohio plant, the home of the iconic Jeep Wrangler. This innovative strategy, dubbed 'simultaneous striking,' has replaced the earlier tactic of one-by-one plant strikes, signaling a significant shift in the UAW's approach to industrial action.
