UAW strike hits Ford’s biggest factory

In an unexpected move, the United Auto Workers (UAW) union has expanded its strikes at Ford Motor to include a highly profitable SUV and truck plant in Kentucky.

The strike took effect at 6:30 p.m. ET on Wednesday at Ford’s Kentucky Truck Plant, known for manufacturing Ford Super Duty pickups, Ford Expedition, and Lincoln Navigator SUVs.

This facility employs approximately 8,700 UAW members.

The decision to strike this plant, which is Ford’s largest in terms of employment and revenue, represents a significant escalation in the UAW’s targeted or “stand-up” strikes.

It also marks a shift in strategy, as in the past, UAW President Shawn Fain publicly disclosed the strike targets before work stoppages occurred, CNBC reported.
