UAW Expands Strike, Calls Out 8,700 Workers at Ford's Kentucky Plant

UAW expands strike, calls out 8,700 workers at Ford's Kentucky Truck Plant, halting production at Ford's largest and most profitable plant.

UAW says Ford has not moved enough in bargaining, demands new economic offer, which Ford declined in a brief meeting.

Strike at Kentucky Truck expected to impact over a dozen other Ford plants interconnected with it.

UAW now has over 34,000 Detroit 3 autoworkers on strike at multiple plants over new contract negotiations.

Strike has resulted in thousands of layoffs and over $5B in economic losses; UAW threatens further action if progress not made.
