UAW Won’t Expand Strike as Talks With Detroit Automakers Progress
The United Auto Workers is giving Ford Motor Co. (F), General Motors Co. (GM) and Stellantis NV (STLA) a break from new walkouts this week as contract talks progress.
UAW President Shawn Fain said Friday his union was prepared to expand its strike to a GM plant making high profit margin SUVs in Arlington, Texas, but reached a last-minute deal with the carmaker to include battery plant workers in a new national labor contract.
The trio of automakers have joint ventures with battery suppliers that aren’t accounted for in the contract that expired last month.
