"Bill Ford's Media Briefing: The Future of Manufacturing Amid UAW Strike"

Bill Ford, executive chair of Ford Motor Co., has called a media briefing to discuss the future of manufacturing as the UAW strike against Ford and the Detroit Three automakers enters its fifth week. The briefing will be held at the Ford Rouge site in Dearborn. Ford CEO Jim Farley previously stated that the UAW was holding Ford hostage in negotiations over battery plants, while UAW President Shawn Fain believes Ford hasn't made enough progress in negotiations. This is the first time the UAW has launched a targeted strike on all three automakers simultaneously.
