Detroit's Big Three automakers -- Ford, General Motors and Stellantis -- issue reactions to the United Auto Workers decision to strike against them after contract negotiations fail.
General Motors also issued a fresh statement Friday afternoon, warning the shutdown at the striking Missouri plant would soon impact another facility in Kansas.
"It is unfortunate that the UAW leadership’s decision to call a strike at Wentzville Assembly has already had a negative ripple effect, with GM’s Fairfax Assembly plant in Kansas and its 2,000 team members expected to be idled as soon as early next week," GM's statement said. "This is due to a shortage of critical stampings supplied by Wentzville’s stamping operations to Fairfax. We are working under an expired agreement at Fairfax.
"I'm extremely frustrated and disappointed, and I think the UAW leadership needs to get to the table, because we need to get this resolved," Barra said. "What we need to do is problem-solve."Barra said that both GM's and the UAW's negotiation teams have been working to reach an agreement. She added, "We just need to get together, talk and get done."
"We are disappointed by the UAW leadership's actions, despite the unprecedented economic package GM put on the table, including historic wage increases and manufacturing commitments." GM's official statement reads. "We will continue to bargain in good faith with the union to reach an agreement as quickly as possible for the benefit of our team members, customers, suppliers and communities across the U.S. In the meantime, our priority is the safety of our workforce.
