The United Auto Workers union announced on Wednesday that members at Ford Motor Company's River Rouge tool and die unit will go on strike on Sept. 26 if an agreement is not reached.

Nearly a year after signing record labor contracts with the United Auto Workers (UAW), two of the Big Three automakers find themselves dealing with the possibility of more strikes. The latest move by the UAW comes after the labor union said on Wednesday that members at Ford’s (F) tool and die unit at its Dearborn Rouge complex will go on strike on

More than a year has passed since the contract deadline for the local agreement between the Dearborn automaker and the unit of more than 500 workers.

The United Auto Workers union is now threatening to go on strike next week at Ford's (NYSE:F) tool and die plant at the River Rouge Complex near Detroit, if the automaker does not resolve local contract issues.

The United Auto Workers (UAW) union said on Wednesday it has set a strike deadline at Ford's tool and die unit in the River Rouge Complex over local contract issues.

United Auto Workers union says it may go on strike against Stellantis as its disputes with the automaker intensify.

According to the UAW, Ford has failed to reach a local agreement with Local 600 over a year after the contract deadline. As a result, UAW President Shawn Fain authorized UAW Vice President Chuck Browning to set a strike deadline for 11:59 p.m. on September 25.

The notice claims that they will strike on Thursday, Sept. 26 if local contract issues including job security, wage parity and work rules are not resolved.

The United Auto Workers (UAW) is once again rattling the cages of automakers, threatening potential work stoppages that could cause major issues in industry.
