UAW Strikes Mapped: Where Are Union Workers At Ford, GM And Stellantis Walking Out?

The United Auto Workers (UAW) union initiated a simultaneous strike against the Detroit Big Three automakers — Ford Motor Co F, General Motors GM, and Stellantis NV STLA — on Sept. 15, seeking improved compensation and other benefits. More than a month later, the strike persists with no clear resolution in sight, and the union has expanded the list of facilities affected.

On Tuesday, the union announced that employees at GM’s Arlington Assembly Plant in Texas had joined the strike, just hours after the automaker reported estimate-beating quarterly results.

With this recent walkout, the total number of autoworkers involved in the strike against Detroit’s Big Three has exceeded 45,000 — about 30% of the union’s members in those companies — across 47 locations, which include both assembly plants and distribution centers.

Why It Matters

The UAW has adopted a phased approach to striking, choosing specific locals to engage in work stoppages when necessary, rather than stage a walkout across all locations. 

The strike has definitely affected business. GM already said the disruptions are costing it $200 million a week in lost production, while JPMorgan has estimated that Ford is losing $44 million a day. And yes, there have been some layoffs.

“Another record quarter, another record year. As we’ve said for months: record profits equal record contracts,” said UAW President Shawn Fain in a statement on Tuesday. “It's time GM workers, and the whole working class, get their fair share.”
