☆ What the UAW strike means for the big auto stocks, according to top analysts

"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.

And now, Shawn Fain is representing nearly 150,000 auto workers in one of the biggest labor strikes in decades. Referring to Biblical scripture, Fain asked union members: "Are you willing to have faith and move that mountain? The Wednesday before contract expiration, he said UAW members must fight for a better contract "by any means necessary" - one of Malcolm X's most quoted phrases. That six-week strike cost GM $3.6 billion and stressed the finances of UAW members. Company executives have said the UAW's demands will make them uncompetitive as the shift to EVs offsets the profits delivered by the combustion trucks UAW members build.

Biden said that when negotiations began, he encouraged leaders of the two sides to stay at the bargaining table as long as possible. The head of the UAW said the union's negotiators “are hard at work at the bargaining table.”The UAW strike is just one of many labor disruptions. Still, a wider strike by the UAW could cause parts of the U.S. economy to shudder. The chain reaction across parts suppliers to the stores and restaurants that auto workers patronize could hurt local economies in Michigan, Wisconsin and other states that could be pivotal in next year’s election. Former President Donald Trump, the early Republican front-runner, said that union workers jobs are at risk because of Biden’s push to use of government incentives to build more EVs.

The United Auto Workers targeted all three Detroit automakers — General Motors (GM), Chrysler-owner Stellantis (STLA) and Club name Ford (F) — with walkouts for the first time in its history. The union actions — and their ripple effects — have shut down 15% of America's total auto production. President Joe Biden on Friday expressed his support for the UAW , saying union workers have not been sharing fairly in the profits being made by the automakers.

New York CNN —Now that the United Auto Workers union has started a strike, the US auto market is about to be thrown into turmoil all over again. Auto sales hadn’t entirely recovered from the pandemic, but car shopping in the United States could change once more. The auto manufacturing crises of recent years have left auto dealers better prepared to deal with disruptions, said Scott Kunes, chief operating officer of Kunes Auto and RV Group, which owns more than 40 dealerships in the Midwest. It pays to be flexibleBefore the strikes started, auto dealerships had reasonably healthy inventories of new vehicles, according to Michelle Krebs, an analyst with AutoTrader. That means they’ll still have vehicles to sell for a few weeks, but, as the strike wears on, the choices available will start to dwindle.

REUTERS/Phil Noble Acquire Licensing RightsNEW YORK, Sept 15 (Reuters Breakingviews) - Ford Motor (F.N) boss Jim Farley is breaking out the "B" word. In a Thursday interview with CNBC, Farley said that pay-rise demands from the United Auto Workers would have driven Ford “bankrupt” if implemented back during 2019 contract negotiations. For now, using “bankrupt” and “Ford” in the same sentence seems like an empty threat. Even in the event of a prolonged strike, Ford has a buffer. The company is sitting on $10 billion of cash net of debt and $47 billion in total liquidity.

REUTERS/Rebecca Cook Acquire Licensing RightsWAYNE, Michigan, Sept 15 (Reuters) - Hundreds of people, including auto workers on the night shift and their supporters, gathered at a Ford (F.N) assembly plant in Wayne, Michigan as members of the United Auto Workers (UAW) union walked off the job to begin a historic strike. "This is what union looks like," said Mike Lester, a supporter who works at a supplier to the major automakers. But UAW President Shawn Fain has said Ford could have funded better pay and benefits for workers if it curtailed stock buybacks and dividends to shareholders. As the strike began, Fain and Debbie Dingell, a Democratic U.S. representative from Michigan, were among the high-profile visitors to Ford's Wayne plant, where about 3,300 UAW members assemble popular Bronco SUVs and Ranger pickup trucks.

The UAW represents about 146,000 workers across Ford, GM and Stellantis. Fain has referred to the union's plans as a "stand-up strike," a nod to historic "sit-down" strikes by the UAW in the 1930s.

☆ Wage contract negotiations: UAW vs. GM, Ford, and Stellantis
▼ + stars: | 2023-09-14 | by ( Chris Isidore | Amy O'Kruk | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +1 min

Top hourly wage for most of the UAW members at GM, Ford and Stellantis. This was how much wages would have increased over the four-year life of the contract under the union’s initial wage demand. While the union has lowered their wage demands since then, they are still far above the double-digit wage increases being offered by the automakers. The number of UAW members at the three companies: 57,000 at Ford, 46,000 at GM and about 42,000 at Stellantis. Ford was last struck in 1978, when the company had 202,000 union members, or more than now work at the three companies combined.

▼ + stars: | 2023-09-14 | by ( Michael Wayland | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +5 min

Targeted, or bottleneck, strikes are an alternative to national actions in which the union only strikes select plants. Targeted strikes typically focus on key plants that can then cause other plants to cease production due to a lack of parts. They include initiating targeted strikes at select plants and then potentially increasing the number of strikes based on the status of the negotiations. "We will strike all three companies, a historic first, initially at a limited number of targeted locations that we will be announcing. While "historic," the targeted strikes could have unintended ripple effects.

But there’s a good chance at least some of them, at a mix of plants and companies, will walk out. Those limited, targeted strikes could be enough to grind production to a halt at America’s three unionized automakers. One advantage for the union of a targeted strike is the potential to save resources and extend a possible walkout. Striking union members are eligible for $500 a week from the union’s strike fund. The companies did not respond to questions Wednesday about their plans if faced with the targeted strikes Fain described on Wednesday.

REUTERS/Rebecca Cook/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsSept 14 (Reuters) - Ford Motor (F.N) Chief Executive Jim Farley said Thursday the United Auto Workers union proposal to hike wages by 40%, cut workweeks and add new pension benefits could bankrupt the company. "You want us to choose bankruptcy over supporting our workers," Farley, in a CNBC interview, said of the UAW proposal. Farley said if the UAW proposal had been in effect since 2019, instead of making about $30 billion in profits over four years, the company would have lost about $15 billion "and gone bankrupt by now."

A General Motors assembly worker pickets outside the General Motors Bowling Green plant during the United Auto Workers (UAW) national strike in Bowling Green, Kentucky, U.S., October 10, 2019. Aid for suppliers has been discussed "since the minute it became clear there could be a strike" but those talks are "premature and fluid," the source said. Auto suppliers held recent discussions with the White House about the potential impact of a strike and possible options that the Biden administration could tap to help suppliers weather a prolonged strike. Small suppliers are critical to automakers' supply chains. Automakers have spent much of the past three years dealing with supply chain disruptions, and are still working to recover.

[1/4] "UAW on strike" picket signs lay on a pile of wood outside the General Motors Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly in Hamtramck, Michigan, U.S. October 25, 2019. "To win, we're likely going to have to take action," UAW President Shawn Fain said on Wednesday. Fain said it was still possible that at a later date all of the auto workers could strike. Some losses could be recouped by boosting production schedules after a strike, but that possibility fades as a strike extends to weeks or months. That is less than half the pay hikes the union has sought, but higher than companies initial offers.

Fain says the targeted strikes will give the union leverage in contract talks and keep the auto companies guessing about the UAW’s next move. Currently, UAW workers hired after 2007 don’t receive defined-benefit pensions. If a walkout occurs, workers would receive about $500 a week in strike pay — far short of what they earn while they’re working. During a 40-day UAW strike in 2019, GM alone lost $3.6 billion. The union’s inability to organize U.S. factories run by foreign automakers represents a disadvantage for the union because those companies pay less than Detroit companies do.

DETROIT – General Motors is attemping to avoid a looming strike by the United Auto Workers union through a new offer Thursday that includes significant pay increases, more vacation days and better benefits for retirees, among other perks. The proposal, which GM CEO Mary Barra called "compelling and unprecedented," addresses many of the union's demands but continues to fall short on others, such as a 40% pay increase over the four years of the deal that UAW sought. GM released details of the deal roughly nine hours before the UAW could initiate targeted strikes against GM, Ford Motor and Stellantis if deals are not reached by 11:59 p.m. "Today, we put a compelling and unprecedented economic package on the table that reflects the significance of this critical moment."

The UAW can strike in a few ways, but typically, members have gone on strike against just one of the three Detroit automakers rather than all three at once. "We're going to hit where we need to hit and when we need to hit, we're going to hit to move mountains." If the UAW cuts off the Detroit auto companies' precious money-making factories, that could have a broader impact. AdvertisementAdvertisementIf the UAW strike takes down Detroit 3 production, that will impact the hundreds of suppliers that provide parts to these companies. Suppliers struggled after the last UAW strike, during which workers halted production at GM for 40 days.

The Friday walkout would start with targeted strikes designed to "create confusion," among automakers, Fain said, leaving the door open for last-minute agreements. Referring to Biblical scripture, Fain asked union members: "Are you willing to have faith and move that mountain? On Wednesday, he told UAW members they must fight for a better contract "by any means necessary" - one of Malcolm X's most quoted phrases.
