Oct. 12 — The United Auto Workers union expanded its strike Wednesday night in a last-minute move, as it ordered nearly 9,000 workers at Ford’s largest plant to walk off the job. Ford called the walk-out at its Kentucky Truck Plant “grossly irresponsible.”
Thousands of workers, who were scheduled to start their shifts at 6 p.m. on Wednesday night, shut down the truck plant in Louisville after union officials informed them it was time to walk out over what they called a lack of progress. Ford’s Kentucky Truck plant builds the Ford F-Series Super Duty, Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator SUVs. The plant is one of the largest auto factories in the world and accounts for $25 billion a year in revenue, according to Ford which issued a statement shortly after the walkout.

Detroit Automakers Enjoy Smoother Labor Talks In CanadaI have written or edited about the auto industry on and off (mostly on) since 1985, first at The Indianapolis Star then, for more than a dozen years, at Bloomberg News in Detroit, followed by almost nine years at SME Media.
