The UAW on Friday expanded its strikes against General Motors and Chrysler-parent Stellantis to 38 parts distribution centers across the United States but did not add any new Ford facilities citing 'real progress' in talks with the No. 2 U.S. automaker. Ford said on Sunday 'although we are making progress in some areas, we still have significant gaps to close on the key economic issues.... the issues are interconnected and must work within an overall agreement that supports our mutual success.'
TORONTO — The union that represents 5,600 workers at Ford Motor Co. of Canada confirmed Sunday its members had ratified a three-year contract with the automaker, setting the pattern for upcoming talks with General Motors and Stellantis. Unifor and Ford reached a tentative agreement Tuesday after extending a strike deadline by 24 hours. At the time, the union said the three-year deal addressed all issues raised by members for this round of bargaining.
Even after escalating its strike against Detroit automakers on Friday, the United Auto Workers union still has plenty of leverage in its effort to force the companies to agree to significant increases in pay and benefits. Only about 12% of the union’s membership is so far taking part in the walkout. The UAW could, if it chose to, vastly expand the number of workers who could strike assembly plants and parts facilities of General Motors, Ford and Stellantis, the owner of the Jeep and Ram brands.
