UAW President Fain's Surprising Shift in Strategy

Ford Motor Co. Executive Chairman Bill Ford called for an end to the United Auto Workers' auto strike, emphasizing the importance of the U.S. auto industry's future. Union President Shawn Fain rejected Ford's plea, stating that the strike is about autoworkers against corporate greed. Ford urged the union to side with Ford against foreign competitors, warning that the longer the strike continues, the more advantageous it is for those competitors. The strike, now in its 32nd day, has impacted select Detroit Three facilities and put Ford's profitability at risk.
