B | DETROIT -- The United Auto Workers union significantly escalated its walkout against Detroit's Three automakers, shutting down Ford's largest factory and threatening Jeep maker Stellantis.In a surprise move Wednesday night, 8,700 members left their jobs at Ford’s Kentucky truck plant in Louisville.And Thursday morning, union President Shawn Fain hinted at further action against Stellantis. “Here's to hoping talks at Stellantis today are more productive than Ford yesterday,” Fain wrote on X, formerly Twitter, without saying what might happen.Ford's truck plant makes heavy-duty F-Series pickup trucks and large Ford and Lincoln SUVs, hitting the company's most lucrative products. The vehicles made at the plant generate $25 billion per year in revenue, the company said in a statement.Fain said in a statement that the union has waited long enough “but Ford hasn’t gotten the message” to bargain for a fair contract. “If they can’t understand that after four weeks, the 8,700 workers shutting down this extremely profitable plant will help them understand it,” Fain said.The strike came nearly four weeks after the union began its walkouts against General Motors, Ford and Stellantis on Sept. 15, with one assembly plant from each company. The company, however, called the strike expansion “grossly irresponsible” and said it has made strong wage and benefit offers to the union. It said the move puts about a dozen other Ford facilities at risk, as well as parts supply plants that together employ over 100,000 people.A Ford executive said the union called a meeting at the company's Dearborn, Michigan, headquarters Wednesday afternoon where Fain asked if the company had another offer. High-ranking Ford executives responded that they are working on possibly bringing electric vehicle battery plants into the UAW national contract, essentially making them unionized. But they didn't have a significantly different economic offer, the executive said. Fain was told the company put a strong offer on the table, but there wasn't a lot of room to increase it and keep it affordable for the business, the executive said.Fain responded by saying, if that's the company's best offer, “You just lost Kentucky Truck Plant,” said the executive. The meeting only lasted about 15 minutes, he said. In a video, Fain said the union moved because Ford didn't change its offer. “We've been very patient working with the company on this,” he said. “They have not met expectations, they're not even coming to the table on it.”The escalation against Ford shows that Fain is trying to increase pressure on the company, said Marick Masters, a business professor at Wayne State University who follows labor issues.But Ford and the other automakers have made concessions and raised wage offers, he said. The companies, he said, “may have reached their resistance points to varying degrees.” Executives, he said, have bottom line positions they can’t cross in terms of staying competitive with other automakers.Fain, Masters said, likely is testing how far he needs to push Ford before going to “full throttle,” by taking all 57,000 Ford members out on strike.The union’s move doesn’t leave him optimistic for a quick end to the strikes, Masters said. “I think the issues that remain on the table are quite thorny,” he said, pointing to union demands that all workers get defined benefit pensions and health insurance when they retire.The UAW expanded its strikes on Sept. 22, adding 38 GM and Stellantis parts warehouses. Assembly plants from Ford and GM were added the week after that. The Kentucky strike brings to 33,700 the number of workers on strike against the three automakers.Thus far, the union has decided to target a small number of plants from each company rather than have all 146,000 UAW members at the automakers go on strike at the same time.Last week, the union reported progress in the talks and decided not to add any more plants. This came after GM agreed to bring joint-venture electric vehicle battery factories into the national master contract, almost assuring that the plants will be unionized.Battery plants are a major point of contention in the negotiations. The UAW wants those plants to be unionized to assure jobs and top wages for workers who will be displaced by the industry’s ongoing transition to electric vehicles.Since the start of the strike, the three Detroit automakers have laid off roughly 4,800 workers at factories that are not among the plants that have been hit by the UAW strikes.The companies say the strikes have forced them to impose those layoffs. They note that the job cuts have occurred mainly at factories that make parts for assembly plants that were closed by strikes.The UAW rejects that argument. It contends that the layoffs are unjustified and were imposed as part of the companies' pressure campaign to persuade UAW members to accept less in negotiations with automakers. The factories affected by layoffs are in six states: Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Kansas, Indiana and New York. Sam Fiorani, an analyst with AutoForecast Solutions, a consulting firm, said he thinks the layoffs reflect a simple reality: The automakers are losing money because of the strikes. By slowing or idling factories that are running below their capacities because of strike-related parts shortages, Fiorani said, the companies can mitigate further losses.“It doesn’t make sense to keep running at 30% or 40% of capacity when it normally runs at 100%,” he said. Striking workers are receiving $500 a week from the union’s strike pay fund. In some states, laid-off workers could qualify for state unemployment aid, which, depending on a variety of circumstances, could be less or more than $500 a week. Fiorani said that as the strikes widen, more workers will likely be laid off at non-striking plants. Separate companies that manufacture parts for the automakers are likely to have laid off workers but might not report them publicly, said Patrick Anderson, CEO of the Anderson Economic Group in Lansing, Michigan. A survey of parts supply companies by a trade association called MEMA Original Equipment Suppliers found that 30% of members have laid off workers and that more than 60% expect to start layoffs in mid-October.。同时，汽车置换更新跨年度衔接政策，从2025年1月1日起至2025年国家汽车置换更新补贴政策出台期间，广东省汽车置换更新补贴活动按2024年汽车置换更新政策执行。广东发布以旧换新跨年度衔接政策，也为2025年汽车消费市场“定调”，加大以旧换新活动力度，进一步促进汽车消费，为消费者带来实际的政策利好。在政策带动下，各车企也纷纷响应，推出相关优惠政策，在新春来临之际加大促销力度。据记者不完全统计，已有近10个品牌推出优惠“抢客”，也意味着2025年车市第一波“价格战”来袭。合资品牌率先出马，广东奥迪推出新春购车节活动，广东省内购A8L，企业购车可抵13%增值税，上汽大众推出新春年货节，推出“国补地补全兜底，新春大吉七重礼”活动，至高置换补贴12000元，综合优惠60000元，帕萨特、威然、途岳新锐等车型限时一口价，等等。东风日产推出全系限时享1000元购车福利活动，全新天籁真心版限时一口价12.78万元，逍客荣誉真心版限时一口价9.98万元，新轩逸经典舒适版限时一口价6.98万元等。自主品牌也为消费者“兜底”，深蓝汽车发布“国补地补深蓝补”活动，1月1日-31日期间，符合深蓝汽车置换条件可补地方置换补贴，按照2025/2025年购车发票所在地补贴标准全额“兜底”，购车发票所在地补贴政策明确后30-60天兑现补贴，如2025年购车发票所在地补贴政策不出台，按照2024年购车发票所在地政策补贴（不晚于2026年1月兑现），同时2025年春节前购深蓝至高享20000元限时现金红包。广东车企广汽埃安、比亚迪、小鹏也为消费者带来福利，小鹏汽车推出“国补地补均兜底”政策，为报废车国补“兜底”，地方置换补贴“兜底”，享受相应积分，同时推出10000元现金新春红包礼，888度电卡跨年提车礼。1月1日，广汽埃安官宣热销加码，推出限时保险补贴，即日起至2月28日，购买埃安霸王龙，可享限时5000元保险补贴；购买埃安RT和AION Y系列，可享限时3000元保险补贴，为消费者提供新年出行新选择。
