When the United Auto Workers (UAW) started their "stand-up strike" Friday, not all members who voted to strike stopped working.

In this stand up strike, workers walked out at specific locations designated by their union rather than all members striking at once. About 13,000 workers are striking at the Ford Motor (F) plant in Michigan, the Stellantis (STLA) Jeep Wrangler plant in Ohio and the General Motors (GM) plant in Missouri.

“Instead of striking all plants all at once, select locals will be called on to 'Stand Up' and walk out on strike,” the UAW explained. The union said the stand up approach would give them “maximum leverage and maximum flexibility” in negotiations.

This new strike strategy differs from others seen in 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:labor union history. Rather than a walkout impacting all union members or a  sit-down strike where workers occupy the workplace but refuse to complete work tasks, the stand up strike relies on the participation of select members of the union’s choosing.
