Key takeaways
- GM and Stellantis have laid off a collective 2,300 workers as a direct result of the UAW strikes
- Ford temporarily laid off factory workers last week
- All three stocks closed downwards on Thursday as a result

The gap between the UAW’s expectations and Ford, GM and Stellantis’ offers is pretty broad – which means the strike could escalate and turn into a months-long affair. As a result, the three car makers’ stocks are struggling to stay buoyant.
