LANSING – The United Auto Workers strike against General Motors, Ford Motor Company and Stellantis has dragged on for weeks, costing the US economy more than $5 billion and counting, says Patrick Anderson, CEO of Anderson Economic Group, in this video interview.

For the first time, the UAW is not conducting pattern negotiations with one auto maker and then using the terms as a blueprint for the other two. Instead the UAW has implemented strategic strikes against highly profitable production and parts plants to reinforce its demands.

Anderson analyzes the economic and social impacts of the strike on MITech TV with co-hosts Mike Brennan and Matt Roush.
