In a Friday morning announcement, United Auto Workers union President Shawn Fain announced that a total of 7,000 more UAW members will strike Ford Motor Co. (NYSE: F) and General Motors Co. (NYSE: GM) assembly plants in Chicago and Lansing, Michigan, respectively, beginning at noon ET Friday. Workers at the Lansing stamping plant were not affected. (These American industries have the highest union membership.)<\/p>\n
Fain first apologized for being late to begin the meeting, offering the comment that a \u201csignificant flurry\u201d of activity occurred just before the scheduled 10 a.m. ET starting time. It turns out that Stellantis N.V. (NYSE: STLA) had come in at the last minute with new positions on the union\u2019s demand for adjustments to the cost of living allowance and other points at issue in the negotiations.<\/p>\n
Apparently, neither Ford nor GM\u200c made any meaningful progress in negotiations with the union. Fain gave no specific reasons for the new labor actions at the two companies\u2019 plants.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t
