UAW Strike Expands to Another Plant

UAW Strike , Expands to Another Plant.

The United Auto Workers (UAW) union has taken its strike to a plant that produces Ram 1500 trucks, NBC News reports.

6,800 more employees have stopped working.

Ram 1500 trucks are one of Stellantis' most profitable vehicles.

.

The strike's expansion comes after UAW President Shawn Fain accused Stellantis of "trying to lowball and undercut us" with weaker negotiations than what was put forth by Ford and GM.

In total, approximately 40,000 UAW employees are currently on strike.

They are striking for better pay, shorter work weeks, better pension and health care programs, cost-of-living-adjustments and more.

The walkout began on Sept.

15.

Last week, Ford Executive Chair Bill Ford called the strike a threat to not only his company, but to the American auto industry.

This should not be Ford versus the UAW.

It should be Ford and the UAW versus Toyota and Honda, Tesla and all the Chinese companies that want to enter our home market, Bill Ford, Ford Executive Chair, via statement.

Fain responded by saying, "It's not the UAW and Ford against foreign automakers.

It’s autoworkers everywhere against corporate greed."

Ford Orders Recall Over Potential SUV Gas Leak [Video]

Ford Orders Recall Over Potential SUV Gas Leak

Ford Orders Recall , Over Potential SUV Gas Leak. ABC reports that Ford has ordered a recall for almost 43,000 small SUVs due to a potential risk of fire. . The recall impacts some Bronco Sport SUVs from 2022 and 2023, as well as 2022's Escape SUVs. . According to Ford, gasoline can leak from fuel injectors near or onto hot engine surfaces, which increases the risk of starting fires. The recall does not reportedly include repairing any potential fuel leak, which the company claims only impacts about 1% of their SUVs. ABC reports that Michael Brooks, executive director of the nonprofit Center for Auto Safety, has called Ford's decision a "Band-aid type recall.". Brooks claims that even a 1% failure rate is high and places drivers at potential risk for a crash. The NHTSA said that it lacks legal authority to pre-approve recall fixes. . The agency added that it would, "closely track their performance using field data.". However, Brooks suggests that Congress needs to change laws so that the NHTSA can , "require something more than the rubber stamp that NHTSA is currently deploying.”. That is a post-remedy inquiry that won't make the fixes better, and further stretches out the process and leaves consumers in limbo. , Michael Brooks, executive director of the nonprofit Center for Auto Safety, via ABC
