Workers at a Ford-supplying plant in Van Buren, Michigan have gone on strike due to concerns over health and safety issues and management’s disciplinary practices. The Constellium Automotive plant produces aluminum structures and crash management systems for the Ford F-150, F-150 Lightning, Explorer and Super Duty at six assembly plants. The 160 workers on strike have filed unfair labor practice charges against the company for bad-faith bargaining, and negotiations are set to resume soon. Meanwhile, a UAW strike at a Clarios battery plant near Toledo has lasted for ten days, involving more than 400 workers. The strike began due to failed negotiations about overtime pay and other concerns, and the UAW has filed charges against Clarios with the National Labor Relations Board. The plant supplies batteries to automotive assembly lines at Ford and General Motors, but so far there have been no reports of production disruptions. Clarios and the UAW are continuing negotiations.
