John Deere says it is looking at all options to provide products to its customers, including possibly using strikebreakers or importing equipment from overseas factories it operates
More than 10,000 members of the United Auto Workers union remain on strike at 12 Midwest factories and facilities of the farm and construction equipment company. In a vote concluded Tuesday a majority of members rejected a tentative deal that would have ended the walkout. The company will now work on what it refers to as its"customer service continuation plan," said Marc Howze, its chief administrative officer in an interview with CNN Business.
Importing goods built overseas is another way that companies have tried to limit labor costs. But this is a difficult time to try to do so, with extensive supply chain problems, especially delays in container ships being able to call on US ports.Howze said the company's first choice is to get a deal that UAW members will ratify."Fundamentally we're on the same team," he said."We've been here for 184 years.
