Auto Strike In Fifth Day Amid Ford Talks
Bargainers from the United Auto Workers and Ford Motor Co meet as the UAW strike against Ford, involving about 160,000 workers, enters its fifth day. Officials describe the session as a probing meeting with no clear sign of resuming bargaining. The company expects 85,000 1968 models ready Sept. 21 to last about 30 days. The article notes UAW demands, including a skilled worker pay rise and guaranteed annual income, and cites industry context such as ISST labor actions and Canadian wage considerations.
