Members of the United Auto Workers union hold a rally and practice picket near a Stellantis plant in Detroit, Aug. 23, 2023.
Michael Wayland / CNBCDETROIT — The United Auto Workers union plans to implement targeted strikes at certain plants against the Detroit automakers if tentative contracts are not reached with General Motors , Ford Motor and Stellantis , according to union officials briefed on the matter Tuesday night.
Targeted strikes refer to work stoppages only at certain plants involving local contract issues that many, if not most, plants have.
Conducting targeted strikes can be complex, as it's not clear how one plant will impact others.
Targeted strikes will save the union cash, as they won't have to give "strike pay" to as many members from its $825 million strike fund.
