The United Auto Workers union says it expanded its strike again Monday, as 6,800 people stopped working at a plant that makes Ram 1500 trucks. That means this expansion of the strike targets one of Stellantis' most important and profitable vehicles. The union took a similar step with its last walkout, when it shut down a Ford plant in Kentucky where several F-Series Super Duty pickups are made.
Since then, the union has employed a phased strategy that it calls a 'stand up strike,' where workers at specific manufacturing plants are told to go on strike with about two hours' notice, making it harder for the automakers to prepare for interruptions in their production and supply lines. It also makes it easier for the union to stay on strike for longer.
