Ford's United Auto Workers (UAW) have threatened to strike on Friday, 2024-02-20, if their contract demands are not met, signaling a significant labor dispute in the automotive industry. This move comes amidst the UAW's announcement on 2024-02-21 of a $40 million commitment to organizing U.S. auto and electric vehicle (EV) battery workers, aiming to strengthen union presence across the sector. Ford has responded to the strike threat with a warning of an 'equal and opposite reaction,' hinting at potential consequences for Michigan's economy and the broader industry.
