Nearly 9,000 UAW Members at Ford's Kentucky Plant Threaten Strike Over Local Contract Issues

Ford Motor Co.'s biggest and most profitable truck plant in Kentucky could face a strike next Friday if local contract issues are not resolved, the United Auto Workers (UAW) union announced. The union's statement caused a 1.2% drop in the company's shares. The contract talks are separate from the agreements reached last year between the UAW and the Detroit Three automakers – Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis – which will result in unprecedented wage increases for around 150,000 union members.
