UAW WILL EXPAND STRIKE AT FORD AND GM AND CITES PROGRESS AT STELLANTIS

The United Auto Workers will walk off the job at an additional plant each at General Motors (GM.N) and Ford (F.N), but will spare Stellantis after last-minutes concessions by the Chrysler parent, union president Shawn Fain said on Friday.

The first-ever simultaneous strike against the Detroit Three automakers enters its third week, expanding to Ford's Chicago assembly plant and GM's Lansing, Michigan, assembly plant, covering about 7,000 workers. That brings the total number of workers on the picket lines to 25,000, or about 17% of the union's 146,000 members at the three automakers. The strike will not include any additional members at Chrysler parent Stellantis (STLAM.MI).
