And the United Auto Workers strike against the Big three automakers.
So today, as expected, the UAW expanded its strikes to 38 locations in 20 states.
But the Ford plants in Louisville are still not on that list.
The president of the United Auto Workers says the union will expand its strike against major automakers by walking out of General Motors and stellantis plants all across the country.
Ford was spared additional strikes because the company has met some of the union's demands during negotiations over the past week, said UAW President Sean Fain.
The union is pointing to the company's huge recent profits as it seeks wage increases of 36% over four years.
The companies have offered a little over half that amount.
And our message to the consumer is simple The way to fix the frustrating customer experience is for the companies to end price gouging investees record profits into stable jobs and sustainable wages and benefits.
It's that simple.
Across the country, people are going to know that the UAW is ready to stand up for our communities and ready to stand up against corporate greed.
The UAW has other demands, including a 32 hour workweek for 40 hours of pay and a restoration of traditional pension plans for newer workers.
President Joe Biden will travel to Michigan next Tuesday to show support for the striking workers.
