"Ford Chairman Urges UAW to End Strike, Calls for Deal"
Ford executive chairman Bill Ford has called on the United Auto Workers (UAW) union to end the 32-day strike and reach a new labor agreement, warning of the growing impact on the automaker and the U.S. economy. The strike has expanded to shut down the Kentucky plant, and Ford urged the UAW to come together to bring an end to the acrimonious talks. UAW President Shawn Fain responded by warning that the union could "close the Rouge" with a strike. Ford emphasized the negative impact of the strike on American workers and the economy, while Fain insisted on higher wages and benefits.
