..."The UAW has been on strike since Sept. 15 against the country’s legacy automakers: Ford, Stellantis and General Motors, also known as the Big Three. That’s when the union’s four-year contracts with each company expired without new tentative bargaining agreements in place for workers to vote on.
Over the past month, the UAW has been gradually calling on workers to walk off at more facilities, as a way to put bargaining pressure on the automakers. While the union and Ford have made progress over multiple demands, KTP is now the company’s third plant to join the strike.
