Automakers have long said that they’re willing to give raises, but they fear that a costly contract will drive up vehicle prices, making them more expensive than models made at nonunion U.S. …
DETROIT — The United Auto Workers union expanded its strikes against Detroit automakers Friday, ordering 7,000 more workers to walk off the job in Illinois and Michigan to put more pressure on the companies to improve their offers.
“There is still time to reach an agreement and avert disaster,” Ford said in a statement, adding that the strikes are starting to affect fragile companies that make parts for factories affected by the walkouts. Fain said union bargainers are still talking to all three companies, and he was hopeful they could reach deals.
Edwards said she believes the UAW’s strategy of slowly adding more plants will work. “I love it because it keeps us on our toes. No one knows what’s next,” she said. Stellantis, which until Friday had been the target of Fain’s ire in the talks, said it’s committed to “working through these issues in an expeditious manner to reach a fair and responsible agreement.”
Ives wrote in a note to investors that President Joe Biden’s administration is watching union demands collide with his push for cleaner electric vehicles. Biden, who has billed himself as the most union-friendly president in history, traveled Tuesday to the Detroit area to walk picket lines with workers at a GM parts warehouse.
