UAW President Shawn Fain said 7,000 union workers in Chicago and Lansing, Michigan, will join the historic strike.
United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain on Friday announced additional work stoppages as the union continues its historic strike against the Big Three carmakers, expanding the walkouts to a General Motors plant in Lansing, Michigan, and a Ford plant in Chicago.
Fain said in a live video broadcast on Facebook that union leaders are still negotiating with the automakers, but that"sadly, despite our willingness to bargain, Ford and GM have refused to make meaningful progress at the table." He said 7,000 Ford and GM workers at the two facilities will leave their posts starting at noon, bringing the total number of striking employees to 25,000.
The UAW spared additional strikes at Stellantis. Fain said the parent company of Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram has made progress on negotiations, including in cost-of-living adjustments and giving workers the right to strike. The Chicago and Lansing moves are part of the UAW's"stand-up strike" — a rhetorical nod to the"sit-down" strike by GM workers in Flint, Michigan, in the 1930s.
