The United Auto Workers (UAW) strike has taken a surprising turn with a strike at Ford's Kentucky Truck Plant, causing 8,700 workers to walk out and halting production of the Ford Super Duty pickup. This move comes as Ford refuses to further contract bargaining, escalating the situation. The strike is part of the UAW's broader efforts to negotiate better job security and pay as the industry shifts to electric vehicles (EVs), which require fewer workers. The strike is causing a significant disruption in the auto industry, with Ford projected to lose $150 million per week. The UAW's demands, including a 30% increase in base wages, could cost the Detroit Three automakers over $2 billion. The strike is part of a larger trend of labor unions exerting their influence across various industries.
