Good morning eli, The United Auto Workers strike spread further into Michigan last week, with workers at the General Motors Corp. Delta Township Assembly Plant walking out on Friday. While effects of the strike targets are rippling, still more impact came last week when Ford Motor Co. said it is âpausingâ its highly celebrated new manufacturing center that had been under way in Marshall, east of Battle Creek. Company officials initially said the halt at BlueOval Battery Park would last âuntil we're confident about our ability to competitively run the plant.â CEO Jim Farley then elaborated, saying the union and automakers could have reached an agreement by now but one area remains unresolved. âThe UAW is holding the deal hostage over battery plants,â Farley told news media on Friday, shortly after the targeted strike expanded for the third time, including at Fordâs Chicago Assembly Plant, in addition to the GM Delta Township factory.

While Ford and the UAW seem to be moving closer to settling some union demands in the three-week strike, state officials are left to wonder if the automakerâs $3.5 billion electric vehicle battery factory in Michigan hangs in the balance. The state committed about $2.2 billion in subsidies for the plant. Gov. Gretchen Whitmer on Tuesday said a prolonged auto worker strike concerns her a "great deal" but expressed confidence the labor fight wonât imperil plans for the battery factory. The UAW wants raises, cost-of-living adjustments and better retiree benefits â along with job security as automakers shift production toward EVs. It also wants to end the two-tiered system of workers hired after 2007 earning less than longer-term workers. Thanks for joining our community. You can look forward to several new recipes a week and frequent giveaways. For your records, here is a copy of the information you submitted to us... For its part, Ford says it is offering many requested economic benefits, along with job security in existing UAW factories. And itâs willing to eliminate the tier system â also for its UAW member hourly workers. Yet Ford budgeted wages in the plant for about 1,900 production workers at about $41,000 per year â roughly the equivalent to todayâs lower-tier UAW starting wage. When it comes to the battery plant (in Michigan, as well as new factories also under construction in Kentucky and Tennessee), a UAW presence in the factories is not guaranteed. Meanwhile, Fordâs profitability, which was up 16 percent in the first half of the year, comes while just 2.7 percent of its sales are EVs. Its electric division, which it calls âFord Model e,â lost about $1.8 billion in the first half of this year and it could lose $4.5 billion for the full year.
