It's day four of the UAW strike against General Motors, Ford and Stellantis. This unprecedented Stand-Up strike, targeting all three companies at once, is already creating a ripple effect across the automakers causing temporary layoffs at other plants. As the strike drags on, suppliers will begin to feel the impact as well. Beyond the Tier 1, there are thousands of smaller Tier 2 and Tier 3 suppliers that are exposed and at greater risk.
Jan Griffiths, founder of
Gravitas Detroit and host of
