A looming strike deadline set by the United Auto Workers is on lot of minds as the North American International Auto Show gets underway this week in Detroit, but few people on the show floor are talking about it.
Facing a Thursday night deadline, the UAW and Detroit’s three legacy carmakers are staring at possible labor action just as the eyes of the industry are focused on the Motor City’s annual car party. That’s cast an undeniable pall on the displays of sheet metal and the visitors who’ve flocked to the trade show, which opens to the public on Sept. 16.
“It’s definitely something that’s on people’s minds,” Jacob Cordle, an engineer with Reynoldsburg, Ohio-based TS Tech Americas Inc., said in an interview as he toured the Ram stand. “But I think a lot of the people here are mostly just interested in the new technologies.” Jim Morrison, head of Stellantis’ Jeep brand, was similarly disinterested in discussing a labor walkout at a press briefing for the debut of the 2024 Gladiator model.
