"UAW Workers at Ford's Kentucky Truck Plant Threaten Another Strike"

Nearly 9,000 UAW members at Ford's Kentucky truck plant are threatening to strike next Friday if local contract issues, including health and safety concerns and skilled trades erosion, are not resolved. The core issues at the plant's local negotiations revolve around minimum in-plant nurse staffing levels and Ford's attempts to erode skilled trades. The strike warning comes as U.S. labor unions push for better wages and working conditions amid a worker shortage and favorable public opinion.
