U.S. auto workers target Detroit Three with first simultaneous strike
The walkouts at the Detroit Three will halt production of the Ford Bronco, Jeep Wrangler and Chevrolet Colorado pickup truck, along with other popular models.
The standoff has become a political issue, with President Joe Biden, facing re-election next year, calling for a deal. But a week-long shutdown at its Jeep plant in Toledo could cut revenue by more than $380 million, based on data from Stellantis' financial reports. In Wayne, Michigan, hundreds of people, including auto workers on the night shift and their supporters, gathered at a Ford assembly plant as the strike began.
Ahead of Fain's address, GM's top manufacturing executive Gerald Johnson said in a video that the UAW's wage and benefits proposals would cost the automaker $100 billion,"more than twice the value of all of General Motors and absolutely impossible to absorb." He did not detail how the union proposals would result in that cost, or over what time frame.
