UAW strikes Ford's Kentucky truck plant, disrupting production of profitable F-Series models

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

The strike aims to force Ford back to negotiations after "refusing to make further movement."

Ford says the strike will impact operations and suppliers employing 100,000 workers.

Analysts say targeting Kentucky Truck hits Ford's most profitable vehicles, pressuring them.

UAW warns the strike tactic could also target GM and Stellantis' most profitable models next.
