A walkout by Canadian workers that shut down those engine plants could cripple US production.
Ford has two engine plants in Canada that build V-8 motors for its F-series and Super Duty pickups.
Canadian union Unifor, whose contract with Ford expires at 11.59pm Monday, said “while we remain at the table the likelihood of a strike increases with each passing hour.” Separately, about 12,700 US auto workers are on strike as part of a labor action targeting three US assembly plants – one at each of the Detroit Three – after the prior four-year labor agreements expired.
UAW president Shawn Fain told NPR Monday there were “minimal conversations over the weekend so the ball is in their court …. We have a long way to go.” Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said it was premature to forecast the strike’s impact on the economy, which would depend on how long the action lasted and what was affected.
