Hundreds of people, including auto workers on the night shift and their supporters, gathered at a Ford assembly plant in Wayne, Michigan as members of the United Auto Workers (UAW) union walked off the job to begin a historic strike.
"This is what union looks like," said Mike Lester, a supporter who works at a supplier to the major automakers.On Thursday, Chief Executive Jim Farley warned of a grim scenario if Ford acquiesced to union demands for a 40% hike in pay, an end to a tiered wage system that pays new hires less than veterans and a return to defined-benefit pensions.
As the strike began, Fain and Debbie Dingell, a Democratic U.S. representative from Michigan, were among the high-profile visitors to Ford's Wayne plant, where about"They want to see cost of living adjustments. They're working on assembly line ... and different people are working at different tiers, but doing the same job. So they want to get rid of the tiers and they want job security.
Fain has not ruled out more drastic action, such as full company-wide strikes, if a deal cannot be reached. One supporter of striking workers at the plant, a 38-year GM veteran who declined to give his name, said he did not think the industrial action would stop until the automakers gave into the union demands.Reporting by Eric Cox; Writing by Jamie Freed; Editing by Clarence Fernandez

Ford, uniquely exposed to a strike, makes a last ditch effort.CEO Jim Farley and executive chairman Bill Ford both showed up to the negotiating table with UAW earlier this week in an effort to avert a strike, the company said in a statement. (UAW President Shawn Fain was a no-show, Ford says.) Ford wants to be seen as pulling out all the stops. But it’s also true that Ford employs the most UAW members of all the “Big Three” automakers, leaving the company uniquely exposed to the economic fallout from a strike.
