While the move marks a historic one to fight for autoworker’s rights, it could create a ripple effect throughout the country and even in Jacksonville.

Tony Masutto, the owner of Everything Automotive in Jacksonville told Action News Jax on Friday that broadening of the current strikes could make car parts harder to find, costing customers more for needed repairs.“If you’re not getting the parts made, you’re not getting them built, you’re not getting them supplied... everything increases the price, and it never goes back down,” said Masutto.

“We had a Ford, older, six-cylinder engine we waited for four months for a re-manned, re-manufactured to get here,” added Masutto. “If they go on strike, it’s gonna keep making it harder on the people in the end.

Automakers so far have scoffed at the union’s demands of large raises, a four-day workweek, and an expanded pension program, among other demands.
