REUTERS/Bryan Woolston/File PhotoThe Wednesday evening decision to shut Ford's Kentucky truck plant employing 8,700 workers, the largest single walkout since targeted strikes began four weeks ago, came as the UAW and Stellantis prepared for another major round of bargaining, sources said.
UAW President Shawn Fain's decision to shut down assembly lines that build Ford Super Duty pickup trucks and Lincoln Navigator and Ford Expedition large SUVs is a blow to Ford that could quickly undermine the automaker's full-year profits. Fain and other UAW officials called a meeting with Ford at 5:30 pm ET on Wednesday and demanded a new offer, which Ford did not have, a Ford official said.
Ford said the decision was"grossly irresponsible but unsurprising given the union leadership's stated strategy of keeping the Detroit 3 wounded for months through 'reputational damage' and 'industrial chaos.'" "We're not gonna wait around forever," he said on social media platform X on Wednesday evening."If Ford can't get that after four weeks on strike, these 8,700 workers shutting down their biggest plant will help them understand it."
