(Reuters) – The United Auto Workers union said on Wednesday it has set a strike deadline at Ford Motor Co’s (NYSE:F) tool and die unit at the River Rouge complex over local contract issues.
Ford’s Rouge complex, which employs about 6,000 people, has more than 500 workers in the tooling and die unit, according to a union official.
The union said it would strike on September 26 if local contract issues were not resolved, adding that key issues in the negotiations include job security, equal pay and work rules.
“We have been at the negotiating table to resolve the issues. Negotiations are ongoing and we look forward to reaching an agreement with United Auto Workers Local 600 at Dearborn Tool & Die,” Ford said.
United Auto Workers union President Shawn Fine said Tuesday the union plans to hold a strike authorization vote at one or more local rival Stellantis (NYSE:) subsidiaries in the coming days.
