GM, Stellantis Scramble To Plug Parts Shortage As UAW Strike Threatens To Widen: What You Need to Know
Portfolio Pulse from Ramakrishnan M
The United Auto Workers (UAW) union is threatening to expand its strike against Detroit carmakers, including General Motors (GM), Ford Motor Co (F), and Stellantis (STLA), if negotiations for new four-year contracts do not progress. The strike has already affected 38 parts-distribution centers owned by GM and Stellantis. To cope with the strike, GM and Stellantis have asked white-collar workers to handle parts shipments. The strike could disrupt service departments by delaying routine maintenance and repair work due to parts shortages.
