The United Auto Workers (UAW) union
has taken its strike to a plant that produces
Ram 1500 trucks, NBC News reports.
6,800 more employees have stopped working.
Ram 1500 trucks are one of

The strike's expansion comes after UAW President Shawn Fain accused Stellantis of "trying to lowball and undercut us" with weaker negotiations than what was put forth by Ford and GM.
In total, approximately 40,000 UAW employees are currently on strike.
They are striking for better pay, shorter work weeks, better pension and health care programs, cost-of-living-adjustments and more.
The walkout began on Sept. 15.

This should not be Ford versus the
UAW. It should be Ford and the UAW
versus Toyota and Honda, Tesla and
all the Chinese companies that want
to enter our home market, Bill Ford, Ford Executive Chair, via statement.
Fain responded by saying, "It's not the UAW and Ford against foreign automakers. Itโs autoworkers everywhere against corporate greed."
