UAW Strike Expands to Ford's Key Kentucky Plant, Putting Production of Profitable Trucks at Risk

UAW expands strike to Ford's largest Kentucky Truck Plant, impacting 8,700 workers.

Kentucky Truck Plant builds profitable F-Series trucks and large SUVs that bring in $25 billion annually for Ford.

UAW rejects Ford's latest contract offer, wants better terms on wages, benefits, and joint venture battery plants.

Ford says closing Kentucky plant risks 100,000+ supplier jobs, has "serious consequences".

Prior to strike expansion, progress was being made on retirement benefits and battery plant issues.
