Auto workers escalate strike, walking out at largest Ford factory_我的网站
A | 今晚7：00，2026浙BA杭州赛区决赛首场比赛，将在临安体育文化会展中心体育馆正式打响，临安队坐镇主场迎战富阳队。 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.。决赛为三局两胜，两支历经多轮淘汰赛突围的劲旅将全力赢得开门红，谁能在“杭州王”的争夺战中抢占先机？从小组赛到淘汰赛，临安队尽显顽强韧性。小组出线后，八强赛与淳安队苦战三场才惊险晋级；半决赛对阵钱塘队，依旧是三场鏖战，决胜局更是在客场半场落后10分的不利境地下最终逆转杀进决赛。反观富阳队展现出强大整体实力、状态拉满，小组赛斩获四战全胜的不败战绩，淘汰赛又是两轮2∶0，豪取八连胜。全程攻防兼备，球队整体战术体系完整、阵容深度雄厚，多点开花的进攻模式和密不透风的防守体系让对手难以突破，被球迷誉为“最强县大队”，是“杭州王”和省级争霸赛的夺冠热门。值得一提的是，去年浙BA小组赛时，富阳队唯一输掉的一场球就是不敌临安队。两队核心球员的赛场发挥是本场G1对决的关键胜负手。临安后场组合吕升平、伍王超是球队两大得分支柱，半决赛G3对阵钱塘一役，吕升平独揽26分，高压追分阶段连续突破、稳定罚球帮助球队稳住局面。
B | 三场半决赛，吕升平和伍王超场均分别贡献17分和13.6分，得分火力不容小觑。去年，吕升平在小组赛阶段意外骨折，直到半年后才重返赛场。
C | 他坦言，和去年比，自己心态上成熟了很多。“这次能代表自己土生土长的家乡出战，希望有更多机会赢下比赛。”富阳队走团队均衡打法，无单一得分核心，外线章炬是球队攻坚尖刀，僵持阶段三分球屡屡破局；内线孙江豪、夏森组成双塔牢牢掌控篮板优势，童剑凯、许泽伟、章佳飞轮换登场持续输出得分，板凳深度和成熟轮换体系让球队全场都具备充足冲击力。首场对决，胜负极大影响整个系列赛的心理走势。是临安队携主场之利获胜，还是“最强县大队”继续保持不败纪录？让我们拭目以待。
