UAW strike expands to Mercedes supplier in Alabama

The United Auto Workers strike has expanded to include a Mercedes supplier, affecting the production of parts for Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
The UAW strike, which began a week ago, involves 190 workers at a ZF plant in Alabama that supplies front axles to Mercedes. The strike demonstrates the UAW's determination to continue until their demands are met by General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis.
As negotiations between the automakers and the union continue, the stakes are raised with the inclusion of more plants facing potential strikes. The Biden administration is monitoring the situation, but has not yet intervened in the negotiations.
