UAW Auto Strike Against Big 3 Automakers Now Costliest in History, Topping $9 Billion in Economic Losses

The UAW strike against GM, Ford, and Stellantis has cost the US economy over $9 billion so far, more than double the previous auto strike record.

The strike has cost workers nearly $500 million in lost wages and automakers over $4 billion in losses.

Suppliers have taken a $2.78 billion hit and dealers/customers are out $1.86 billion.

The prolonged strike has led automakers to delay or cancel investments and force layoffs.

The UAW continues to strike, saying more can be won from automakers, despite record contract offers.
