Ford Makes A Rare Move In A Desperate Attempt To End The UAW Strike
Portfolio Pulse from Upwallstreet
Ford Motor's Executive Chairman, Bill Ford, has called on the UAW to end the ongoing strike that is threatening the future of the automaker and the American automotive industry. The strike has expanded to Ford's most profitable plant, which brings in one-sixth of its global automotive revenue. The strike is also affecting Ford and General Motors' EV plans, which were funded by profits from combustion trucks and SUVs. The strike is costing Ford $44 million a day and GM $21 million a day. Stellantis and Ford have temporarily laid off 1,250 employees due to the strike. Tesla is due to report its Q3 performance, with expectations low due to lackluster Q3 deliveries.
