The great-grandson of the company's founder made a plea to UAW leadership.
Ford Motor Co. executive chair Bill Ford made a rare speech on Monday and discussed the ongoing UAW strike.
Ford Motor Co. Executive Chairman Bill Ford called on autoworkers to come together and end a monthlong strike that he says could cost the company the ability to invest in the future.
In order to apply continuous pressure on Ford, GM, and Stellantis, UAW leadership says strike expansions could now happen at any time with little notice.
No new strikes were announced today, but UAW President Shawn Fain said the union has entered a new phase and will no longer wait until Friday to announce strike expansions.
United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain is set to give a bargaining update with Detroit's Big Three automakers at 10 a.m. on Friday, Oct. 13.
Bargaining teams from the UAW and Stellantis met on Thursday. The Auburn Hills carmaker has already laid off hundreds of workers downriver at its Trenton engine plant due to the ongoing strike.
The United Auto Workers union announced Wednesday that 8,700 members at the Ford Kentucky Truck Plant have been called to join the strike against Detroit's three big automakers.
Although bargaining teams from the United Auto Workers and the Big Three are actively talking, those close to the discussions said Tuesday they are nowhere near a tentative agreement.
Companies that supply auto parts to Detroit's Big Three have also laid off hundreds of employees in recent weeks.
The Anderson Economic Group estimates the first three weeks of the UAW strike have resulted in $5.5 billion in economic losses.
Three generations of Lynda Jackson's family have worked in Detroit's auto plants, and three generations have been union members.
UAW President Shawn Fain made an announcement on Friday, sharing the latest bargaining updates in the union's historic strike against the Big Three automakers.
Fain said General Motors has agreed in writing to place its electric battery plants under its national master agreement.
On Thursday, General Motors said it has presented a sixth offer to the union. Many of the details are being kept under wraps, but those close to the talks say there has been movement in a few key areas.
United Auto Workers strike is costing the automotive industry billions of dollars, but negotiations may have turned a corner.
Ford Motor Company announced about 400 workers in Metro Detroit have been laid off as a result of the United Auto Workers strike.
Unifor's president says they are pushing for a pattern agreement to keep the Big Three automakers from "lowering our wages, cutting our work standards, or pitting workers against each other."
Meaningful progress has been made in the negotiations between the striking United Auto Workers union and Detroit's three auto companies.
Ford Motor Company said it made its seventh offer to the United Auto Workers, calling it their "strongest" offer made.
Layoffs due to the United Auto Workers strike are stacking up. It comes as General Motors is now reviewing the latest counteroffer from the union.
The UAW pointed to its earlier statement criticizing the layoffs.
The autoworkers' strike is now entering its third full week, and on Monday, we learned how much money the industry has lost so far because of it.
In a statement on Monday, Ford said, "the UAW's targeted strike strategy has knock-on effects for facilities that are not directly targeted for a work stoppage."
Americans are more receptive to workers pushing for better pay and working conditions than in decades past, polls show.
