The United Auto Workers (UAW) has launched a strike against Ford's Kentucky truck plant, signaling a major escalation in the labor fight. The strike has shut down Ford's biggest plant globally, halting production of lucrative pickup trucks with little warning. This comes as the UAW's targeted strike against the Detroit Three automakers enters its fourth week. The UAW has also expanded the strike to Ford's most lucrative plant, which accounts for 19.7% of Ford's U.S. production. The union's president, Shawn Fain, has announced surprise strikes at the Big Three's most lucrative plants, mobilizing workers who have been eagerly waiting to join the picket lines. The UAW is prepared to call for an expansion of the strike at any time. The strike threatens not only Ford but also Jeep maker Stellantis. UAW President Shawn Fain will update members and investors on the state of labor negotiations with the Detroit Three automakers on Friday.
