A strike by the UAW against Ford Motor Co., General Motors and Stellantis could cause a recession in Michigan and take a bite out of the nation's GDP, according to recent analyses.
A 10-day strike alone against the Detroit 3 would result in more than $5 billion in economic losses, according to an analysis released Thursday by Anderson Economic Group. The estimate includes wage losses of $795 million and manufacturer losses of $1.2 billion, plus the financial hit to automotive suppliers, dealers and industry at large.
