UAW Strike...Will it drive a recession? They only want 40%

DETROIT (AP) — Nearly one in 10 of America’s unionized auto workers went on strike Friday to pressure Detroit’s three automakers into raising wages in an era of big profits and as the industry begins a costly transition from gas guzzlers to electric vehicles.

By striking simultaneously at General Motors, Ford and Chrysler owner Stellantis for the first time in its history, the United Auto Workers union is trying to inflict a new kind of pain on the companies and claw back some pay and benefits workers gave up in recent decades.

The strikes are limited for now to three assembly plants: a GM factory in Wentzville, Missouri, a Ford plant in Wayne, Michigan, near Detroit, and a Jeep plant run by Stellantis in Toledo, Ohio.

Murder a few. The rest'll fall in line.

Didn't the gov't have to bail the automakers out about 15 years ago?

Too big to fail? 2008-2009? Figment of your imagination.

Pffft, The CAW in Canada used to go on simultaneous strike all the time. ALL of them.

The historic approach is they would rotate. This bargaining period it would be Ford. Ford would settle and the other 2 would carbon copy the settlement. Next time it would be GM then Chrysler. It was kind of a weird setup on both sides. Also those would be full shutdowns this is one plant at each.
