UAW Strike Expands to 25,000 Auto Workers – American Faith

More than 25,000 auto workers are now striking against General Motors (GM), Ford, and Stellantis over Electric Vehicle mandates.

United Auto Workers (UAW) President Shawn Fain announced that around 7,000 auto workers at GM’s Lansing Delta Township Assembly in Lansing, Michigan, and Ford’s Chicago Assembly in Chicago, Illinois, were joining the strike against the Big Three.

“We will win. Our strategy is working,” Fain said. “Over the last ten years, the Big Three have made a record quarter of a trillion dollars in North American profits. Over the last six months, the Big Three have made a record $21 billion in total profits.”

“Keep in mind, these battery plants don’t exist yet. They’re mostly joint ventures and they have not been organized by the UAW yet because the workers haven’t been hired, and won’t be for many years to come,” Ford CEO Jim Farley said. “They won’t scale until the next contract.”

Auto workers primarily worry their jobs will be eliminated altogether as a result and that supply chains will be dominated by China.

Holding up negotiations, new reports reveal, is automakers’ commitment to carrying out Biden’s EV mandates that seek to shower billions in taxpayer-funded subsidies on companies producing EVs over gas-powered cars.
