'You Just Lost Kentucky Truck Plant': How Ford-UAW Labor Talks Broke Down In Just 10 Minutes
Portfolio Pulse from Anan Ashraf
United Auto Workers (UAW) union members walked out of Ford Motor Co's Kentucky Truck Plant after a meeting with Ford officials lasted less than 10 minutes due to lack of a counteroffer. The walkout effectively shut down Ford's most profitable operation, which contributes $25 billion in annual sales, accounting for about a sixth of the company's global automotive revenue. The UAW has been on strike against Ford, General Motors Co, and Stellantis NV since mid-September, demanding better pay and other incentives.
