UAW Strikes Ford's Kentucky Truck Plant, Disrupting Production of Profitable F-Series Vehicles

UAW called an unplanned strike at Ford's Kentucky Truck Plant, which builds high-revenue vehicles like F-250 to F-550 trucks.

Strike escalates pressure on Ford as Kentucky plant generates $25 billion in annual revenue.

Ford called the strike "grossly irresponsible" but UAW says it's needed after 4 weeks of stalled talks.

Strike impacts 8,700 direct workers but ripple effects spread to 100,000+ at suppliers.

Hitting high-profit vehicles like SuperDuty aims to force Ford's hand in negotiations.
