United Auto Workers union strikes will halt production of Ford Bronco, Jeep Wrangler and Chevrolet Colorado pickup truck
The United Auto Workers union launched simultaneous strikes at three Detroit Three factories early on Friday, kicking off the most ambitious U.S. industrial labour action in decades.
A limited strike could also reduce the potential economic damage economists and politicians fear would result from a widespread, lengthy shutdown of Detroit Three operations. He estimated the limited action would stop production of about 24,000 vehicles a week. And while it targets some key brands, like the Bronco, buyers would be willing to wait, for now.
Ford CEO Jim Farley said before the address that the future of the industry was at stake. “Let’s do everything we can to avert a disastrous outcome,” he said.
