DETROIT — Hello from gate D5 at Detroit Metro Airport, where I’m waiting for my flight home after covering the North American International Auto Show.
A Ford factory just north of here in Wayne, Mich., is one of three locations the United Auto Workers targeted in what it calls a “stand-up” strike against Ford, General Motors and Stellantis, with nearly 13,000 workers walking off the job overnight as automakers failed to close a deal with the union and its about 150,000 members before their midnight deadline.
