The United Auto Workers struck a plant that makes parts for Mercedes-Benz Group AG vehicles, as the union continued to weigh expanding the number of walk-out targets at Detroit’s automakers.
On Wednesday morning, the UAW posted on X that 190 workers at a ZF plant in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, that supplies front axles to Mercedes were now on strike.
President Shawn Fain has said more plants faced walkouts if General Motors Co., Ford Motor Co. and Stellantis NV, the maker of Jeep and Chrysler models, didn’t sweeten their offers. The carmakers said bargaining had continued on Tuesday.The new job action and Friday deadline raise the stakes for talks between three of the biggest automakers in the US and the union representing 146,000 of their workers.
In Washington on Tuesday, the Biden administration continued to monitor the strike negotiations, but said Tuesday that acting Labor Secretary Julie Su and White House adviser Gene Sperling would not yet be traveling to Detroit to help the two sides. President Joe Biden had said last week that he would send the two officials.

UAW strikes at automakers highlight skyrocketing US CEO payThat question is at the heart of the United Auto Workers union's strikes at assembly plants owned by Ford, General Motors and Chrysler parent Stellantis.
