Kentucky Truck Plant employees have spent nearly 24 hours on the picket line outside Ford's manufacturing hub in Louisville, a sudden escalation of a nationwide strike that will have far-reaching ripple effects in the industry.
The deal comes about two weeks after the UAW significantly escalated the strike by taking out Kentucky Truck Plant, Ford’s largest factory making its most profitable vehicles: F- Series Super Duty pickups and the Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator.
The United Auto Workers union is threatening to once again strike Ford’s biggest plant — Kentucky Truck Plant in eastern Jefferson County — over a dispute about local contract issues.
