UAW President Shawn Fain said the Ford plant in Chicago, as well as the GM Lansing Delta Township would be joining the strike at 11 a.m. central time on Friday.
Approximately 5,000 Ford workers at the Chicago Assembly Plant on the Southeast Side were set to join the United Auto Workers on strike against Detroit's Big Three carmakers, expanding a strike that has already shuttered assembly plants, parts distribution centers and other facilities across more than 20 states.
UAW President Shawn Fain said the Ford plant in Chicago, which makes Ford Explorers, as well as the GM Lansing Delta Township assembly plant in Michigan, which builds the Chevy Traverse and Buick Enclave, would be joining the strike at 11 a.m. central time on Friday, adding about 7,000 more workers to the strike against Ford, GM, and Stellantis . The two plants employ more than 7,000 union auto workers combined, according to Fain.
