BBC World Service - World Business Report, Ford shares fall after UAW strikes expand to its Kentucky plant

Close to 9000 members of the United Auto Workers' union walked out of the Ford plant

The United Auto Workers union has expanded its ongoing strike by shutting down Ford's biggest plant in Kentucky.

Ford Motor shares fell after the United Auto Workers (UAW) union expanded its strike at the company's biggest and most profitable factory in Kentucky. The UAW said 8,700 workers walked out of the truck plant in Kentucky, in response to Ford refusing to move further in contract negotiations. 

New Zealanders will be casting their vote on Saturday in the country's general election,  9 months after Jacinda Arden unexpectedly resigned as Prime Minister. They'll be deciding whether to give Labour a third term in office, or flip to a National-led government. We’ll hear from the current finance minister and the deputy leader of the opposition.
