UAW Strike Could Put Auto Suppliers, Michigan Economy In Crisis, Analysts Say
Portfolio Pulse from Chris Katje
A contract dispute with the United Auto Workers (UAW) union has led to strikes at Ford Motor Co (F), General Motors Co (GM), and Stellantis NV (STLA), causing uncertainties in the automotive sector. The strikes, which currently impact 12,700 workers, could potentially increase the prices of new and used autos within two months. Analysts suggest that the strikes could have a more significant impact on automotive suppliers than the OEMs. The strikes could also affect local governments, particularly in Michigan, which has the largest share of UAW auto workers.
