VAN BUREN CHARTER TOWNSHIP, MI<\/strong> \u2013 As of midnight on the morning of May 17th,160 workers at Constellium Automotive are on strike, after weeks of the company refusing to bargain in good faith. The plant supplies parts for the Ford F-150, F-150 Lightning, Explorer and Super Duty at six UAW-represented Ford Assembly plants,<\/p>\n

The workers, members of UAW Local 174, are seeking to address serious health and safety issues, along with unfair discipline from management.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur negotiating team has met with the company nine times since April 18th,\u201d UAW Region 1A Director Laura Dickerson said. \u201cAnd on every single occasion, Constellium has made it very clear they have zero interest in taking our members\u2019 proposals seriously. This is a prime example of employer arrogance forcing the hand of its workforce.\u201d<\/p>\n

The UAW has filed unfair labor practice charges against the company for bargaining in bad faith and expects to resume negotiations this week.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
