Ford CEO Warns UAW Strikes Could Hurt U.S. Auto Industry Competitiveness

William Clay Ford Jr. said nonunion automakers like Tesla and Toyota will benefit from UAW strikes against Michigan automakers.

Ford said the strikes risk damaging the U.S. auto industry's ability to compete and could lead to lost jobs.

UAW president Shawn Fain said workers are fighting corporate greed, not the automakers.

Ford said the talks have reached a crossroads, and costly labor deals could hurt the U.S. economy.

Ford called for an agreement so U.S. automakers can compete against foreign rivals.
