As of Friday, September 22 at noon, the UAW announced their decision to extend the footprint of their strike against the "Big Three" automakers – General Motors, Stellantis and Ford. In this episode, we look into why the UAW union members are striking, as well as the potential impact it could have on your fleet from a parts and vehicle purchasing standpoint.

How are you preparing your fleet for the potential impact of the UAW strike? Send us an email and your response could be featured on a future podcast episode or blog post.

Takeaways from this episode:

  • While the strike might not have large scale implications yet, fleet managers should always look at news like this through the lens of a future impact and take steps to reduce the impact to your fleet.
  • Your fleet management strategy should be especially flexible and proactive: (1.) predict which critical parts you will need soon and go ahead and build up your stock (2.) identify which vehicles are nearing end of life and look into procuring replacements or reducing their utilization.
