Autoworkers union stops announcing strikes beforehand, no new strikes announced in Cleveland area

United Auto Workers strike Friday at the Stellantis distribution facility in Streetsboro, southeast of Cleveland. No new strikes were announced Friday, but autoworkers in the Greater Cleveland remain out of work, either because they are on strike or were laid off by the automakers.CLEVELAND, Ohio — The United Autoworkers will no longer announce new strikes ahead of time, UAW President Shawn Fain said Friday, meaning that GM, Ford and Stellantis plants may see workers walk out without warning.

Fain said in a livestream to UAW members that the strike has moved into a new phase, which started on Wednesday, when 8,700 workers went on strike at Ford’s Kentucky Truck Plant without a prior announcement. Fain said automakers were trying to avoid strikes by making new offers right before his livestreams were scheduled on Fridays. But because of this, he said they weren’t making offers throughout the week.

Ford said Thursday night 16,600 of its workers are now in strike, and another 1,920 have been laid off. It warns that the Kentucky Truck Plant strike could lead to layoffs at 13 other Ford plants, including the Ohio Assembly Plant in Avon Lake.
