Summary
The United Auto Workers union has unexpectedly expanded its strike to Ford Motor's highly profitable SUV and truck plant in Kentucky. The strike marks a major escalation in the union's targeted strikes and comes after Ford refused to make further movement in bargaining. Ford called the strike "grossly irresponsible" and warned that it puts numerous operations and jobs at risk. The union expects other automakers to follow suit in including battery plant workers in their contract agreements.
