US EditionUAW planning targeted strike of specific plants, sources say
- The United Auto Workers union is planning targeted strikes at certain plants operated by General Motors, Ford Motor, and Stellantis, if tentative contracts are not reached by the Thursday deadline. The strikes would involve work stoppages only at specific plants and would save the union money from its strike fund.
- UAW President Shawn Fain is expected to outline the strike strategy during a 5 p.m. Facebook Live event on Wednesday. The union leaders have continuously emphasized solidarity and standing united in their negotiations with the automakers.
- The automakers could counter by locking out workers or hiring permanent replacement employees. The impact of the strikes on the companies would depend on their inventories, and there could be significant economic consequences, estimated at $5.6 billion for a 10-day strike at all three companies.
