WAYNE, Sept 15 — The US auto workers’ union launched a targeted strike at three factories just after midnight on Friday, ordering simultaneous stoppages at Detroit’s “Big Three” for the first time.
Fain said the union would strike at one plant at each company: A GM factory in Wentzville, Missouri; a Stellantis facility in Toledo, Ohio; and a Ford plant in Wayne, Michigan, but only the final assembly and paint operations. “They’re starting it off right,” said Rachel Judd, who joined the post-midnight rally in Wayne, Michigan in solidarity. Judd works at Ford’s neighbouring facility in Livonia.The strike poses a fresh challenge to President Joe Biden, who has sought to lock up support from organised labour as he ramps up his reelection campaign. The UAW has thus far refrained from endorsing Biden, a step already taken by other leading unions.
“We’re going to be out here until we get our share of economic justice,” the union president said. “And it doesn’t matter how long it takes.” On Thursday, General Motors upped its offer, lifting a proposed wage increase to 20 per cent. The company had previously proposed an 18 per cent rise, according to the UAW.
Stellantis said it was “extremely disappointed by the UAW leadership’s refusal to engage in a responsible manner to reach a fair agreement in the best interest of our employees, their families and our customers.”
