More than 550 Ford employees were told not to report to work Monday as a result of the UAW strike, the automaker said, citing stoppages at Kentucky Truck Plant and Chicago Assembly Plant.
"Our production system is highly interconnected, which means the UAW’s targeted strike strategy has knock-on effects for facilities that are not directly targeted for a work stoppage," Ford said in a statement. "In this case, the strike atFord says the facilities impacted are reducing the production of parts that would normally be shipped to the Chicago and Kentucky plants. The UAW said automakers were starting to wait until the last minute before offering improved contracts.
The shift in strategy comes after Fain said automakers were falling into the rhythm of waiting until the last minute to negotiate progress in a contract. The trigger for that change happened Wednesday after Fain said Ford "owed" the UAW a new offer with additional wage increases.
