UAW president calls for strikes at 38 plants
The United Auto Workers Union president called on workers at 38 plants in 20 states to strike after negotiations have stalled with General Motors and Stellantis.
(FOX 2) - The UAW called on all General Motors and Stellantis parts distribution facilities to join the strike Friday.
These 38 facilities are in 20 states, with 13 located in Michigan. See the full list below.
UAW President Shawn Fain said this is a result of both automakers rejecting union proposals and offering deficient cost of living adjustments.
"Both companies are still offering deficient cost of living adjustments that will provide zero increases over the next four years. Both have rejected job security proposals. Both have rejected profit-sharing proposals. And both companies have rejected our proposals to convert temps," he said.
Ford, on the other hand, has come to an agreement with the union on job security and reinstated cost of living adjustments that were suspended in 2009. Because of this, the UAW will not call on more Ford employees to strike.
Where negotiations stand between union and Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis
On Friday, the autoworkers union president greatly expanded the scope of its strike against General Motors and Stellantis after it said negotiations with the two automakers had not seen serious progress.
Ford employees who are already on strike at the automaker's Michigan Assembly will still continue striking, as will workers at the Stellantis Toledo Assembly Complex in Ohio, and the GM Wentzville Assembly Plant in Missouri.
These workers have been striking since Aug. 15 after all Big Three automakers failed to reach a deal with the UAW.
Fain set noon Friday as a deadline for "serious progress," something he says only Ford accomplished, but they aren't at a deal yet.
"To be clear, we are not done at Ford," he said.
Ford released a statement after Fain's update:
"Ford is working diligently with the UAW to reach a deal that rewards our workforce and enables Ford to invest in a vibrant and growing future. Although we are making progress in some areas, we still have significant gaps to close on the key economic issues. In the end, the issues are interconnected and must work within an overall agreement that supports our mutual success."
