The United Auto Workers union is on strike, targeting a select few Detroit 3 car factories. After years of a pandemic-driven supply-and-demand car crunch that jacked up new and used vehicle prices and shrunk dealership supply, car buyers had just started to see a little respite. The used car market has been trickier to generalize, but even used vehicle listing prices finally dropped slightly in July. "Pricing may well go up just because of scarcity, and if that happens, then the consumer that potentially was buying a new car would move to the used car market," Russell Hensley, partner in McKinsey's global automotive and assembly practice, said. "Prices will likely go up in the used car market."

New York CNN —The United Auto Workers union’s already unprecedented strike against General Motors, Ford and Stellantis could soon get even bigger. So far, the strike, which started early Friday, has targeted only one final assembly plant at each automaker. So, noon on Friday, September 22nd is a new deadline.”While 12,700 union members are on strike, most of the 145,000 members at the three automakers remain on the job. The UAW chose to target final assembly plants first, which has made the initial strikes quite targeted and tactical. Spreading impact of strikeThe impact of the strike will have a ripple impact on other factories beyond the three targeted already by the UAW strike.

The United Auto Workers strike entered Day 4 on Monday, and both sides remained far apart on pay hikes. By striking Ford, the UAW is "playing with fire," according to Jim, who said the automaker might get tired of trying to appease union demands and just lock workers out. Ford CEO Jim Farley told CNBC last week that UAW demands would bankrupt the company. In addition to top-line pressure on its EV unit and companywide cost pressure from the UAW strike, Ford needs to work its way through this transition from high-profit ICE vehicles to the currently money-losing EVs.

The UAW union late last week went on strike to pressure the "Big Three" to raise worker wages. The strength of President Biden's economic message could hinge on the outcome of the strike. Biden has sought to sharpen his 2024 economic pitch, but voters aren't fully sold on his message. AdvertisementAdvertisementBiden is now sitting in the Oval Office, and the United Auto Workers strike is giving him the most challenging labor crisis of his presidency, as the economic pitch for his reelection bid could sink or swim depending on the outcome. And over the last — the past decade, auto companies have seen record profits, including the last few years, because of the extraordinary skill and sacrifices of the UAW workers," he said at the White House.

Striking United Auto Worker Diana Osborne holds a strike sign outside the Ford Michigan Assembly Plant in Wayne, Michigan, U.S. September 15, 2023. GM CEO Mary Barra sent a letter to employees Thursday saying the company’s latest offer now includes a 20% raise, with an immediate 10% pay hike. The lower-paid temporary employees would get $20 an hour, which represents at 20% raise from current $16.67 an hour they receive. Anger is mounting with Stellantis:Stellantis is making greater use of lower-paid temporary workers than the other automakers. Eliminating or at least limiting use of temporary workers is a major issue for the union.

NEW YORK (AP) — The United Auto Workers said Saturday it had “reasonably productive conversations” with Ford, as its limited strike against the Big 3 automakers carried into a second day. Stellantis on Saturday also gave details about its most recent offer to the union, which brought its wage proposal roughly in line with its competitors. Now that number is zero, and Stellantis wants to keep playing games.”Nearly 1 in 10 of America’s unionized auto workers went on strike Friday. Automakers have since told some non-striking workers not to report to work, including 600 who were told not to report Friday to a Ford plant. Politicians have been pushing automakers to consider workers who gave up pay and benefits to help their employers during the Great Recession.

Core & Main — The infrastructure stock retreated 4.1% a day after it announced a secondary stock offering. The bank said Apellis has a favorable risk/reward ahead of third-quarter earnings. The Wall Street firm said the resumption of loan repayments introduce bookings risk to food delivery.

But not all of the 146,000 UAW members at company plants are walking picket lines, at least not yet. Top-scale assembly plant workers make about $32 per hour, plus large annual profit-sharing checks. The Ford plant that's on strike employs about 3,300 workers, and it makes Bronco SUVs and Ranger midsize pickup trucks. Under the UAW strategy, workers who go on strike would live on $500 per week in strike pay from the union, while others would stay on the job at full pay. It’s unlikely the companies would lock the remaining workers out of their factories because they want to keep building vehicles.

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden said Friday that workers should be fairly compensated as auto companies make record profits, after the United Auto Workers union began a strike against General Motors, Ford Motor and Stellantis. "But I believe they should go further to ensure record corporate profits mean record contracts for the UAW." "Auto companies have seen record profits including the last few years because of the extraordinary skill and sacrifices of the UAW workers," Biden said. "Those record profits have not been shared fairly, in my view, with the workers." "We agree with Joe Biden when he says 'record profits mean record contracts,'" Fain said.

The United Auto Workers labor union launched targeted strikes against the three Detroit automakers early Friday morning. It's the first time in history that the UAW has struck all three of the Detroit automakers at once. GM's Cadillac and Chevrolet brands had just 46 days' and 51 days' worth of vehicles, respectively; the Ford brand had 77 days' worth. Historically, the Detroit automakers have tended to have somewhat larger supplies on hand because their full-size pickups are offered in many different configurations. In contrast to the strike against Stellantis, the UAW's strike against Ford could be relatively brief.

"We think potential disruption from industrial action is likely to create buying opportunities in the D3 shares," the analyst said in a Friday note. "D3," or "the Detroit Three," refers to General Motors, Ford and Stellantis. It also marked the first time in history that the UAW launched strikes at all three of the big automakers simultaneously. Ford shares were flat. "Moving forward, we expect all three stocks to be sensitive to UAW newsflow especially as it relates to the potential duration of industrial action," Jonas said.

"Let's be clear: No one wants a strike," Biden said, hours after UAW launched a targeted strike against all three Detroit automakers. Record profits, Biden said, should result in "record contracts" for workers. UAW is calling the campaign the "Stand Up Strike," an homage to the 1936-37 historic "Sit Down Strike" against General Motors in Flint, Michigan, that inaugurated the domestic auto workers labor union movement. The Big Three have offered the union about half of the pay increase UAW is seeking. "The auto workers are being sold down the river by their leadership, and their leadership should endorse Trump," the GOP's 2024 front-runner said in an interview set to run Sunday on "Meet the Press."
