The United Auto Workers union denounced reports of the Ford Motor Company and General Motors planning to lay off some non-union workers temporarily as the UAW strikes against the Big Three Detroit automakers.
After the union opted for a targeted strike against Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis, beginning on Friday, Ford announced it would temporarily lay off roughly 600 nonstriking employees at its Michigan Assembly Plant, and reports suggest GM may opt for a similar plan at its assembly plant in Fairfax, Kansas. UAW President Shawn Fain said the layoffs are part of a plan to get the union to"settle for less.
"Their plan won’t work. The UAW will make sure any worker laid off in the Big Three’s latest attack will not go without an income. We’ll organize one day longer than they can, and go the distance to win economic and social justice at the Big Three,” Fain continued. “Our production system is highly interconnected, which means the UAW’s targeted strike strategy will have knock-on effects for facilities that are not directly targeted for a work stoppage. In this case, the strike at Michigan Assembly Plant’s final assembly and paint departments has directly impacted the operations in other parts of the facility," Ford spokeswoman Jessica Enoch said in a statement to the Washington Examiner on Friday.
