LaMona Wilkins is one of the 6,800 UAW members answering the call from their union president, shutting down production at Sterling Heights Assembly.On Monday morning, 6,800 union members walked out of the plant, accompanied by UAW President Shawn Fain.
Previously, Fain would announce new targets during his Friday updates but changed that strategy after a few weeks. Instead of waiting until the end of the to announce who is going to the picket line, he said he will announce new strike locations whenever negotiations were not making progress. Across the Big Three, around 40,000 UAW members are striking."We are outraged that the UAW has chosen to expand its strike action against Stellantis.
"Our very strong offer would address member demands and provide immediate financial gains for our employees. Instead, the UAW has decided to cause further harm to the entire automotive industry as well as our local, state and national economies. "The UAW’s continued disturbing strategy of "wounding" all the Detroit 3 will have long-lasting consequences. With every decision to strike, the UAW sacrifices domestic market share to non-union competition. These actions not only decrease our market share, but also impact our profitability and therefore, our ability to compete, invest and preserve the record profit sharing payments our employees have enjoyed over the past two years.
