Univ. of Northern Iowa professor talks UAW strike

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa (KCRG) – As the strike involving thousands of autoworkers in the US continues this week, students at UNI watch closely and learn about how this will impact the state of Iowa.

Associate Professor of Supply Chain Management, Andy Anderson says it’s a teaching opportunity.

“What would be in the impact of a strike not only on consumers, which it will probably have a significant effect on, but also the suppliers as well,” he told TV9.

To start, he looks at the supply chain, saying some of these auto makers rely on a lot of Iowa-led companies that produce machined vehicle parts.

“A lot of these places are getting parts from other places and they’re probably not going to be ordering much from their suppliers as we go up or down the supply chains,” said Anderson.

As for consumer impact, they could see a spike in cost regardless of how much supply any given dealership has.

“Car dealerships could still engage in predatory pricing because of the perceived shortage,” said Anderson “Whether it’s real or not, there could be a perceived shortage and that could drive up prices at the dealerships.”

The UAW has been negotiating with Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis. The union is making several demands including a 40% pay raise over 4 years. So far, offers from the auto makers have not come close to that mark.

Iowa men’s basketball: Junior guard Josh Dix unavailable for Hawkeyes’ game vs. Rider

IOWA CITY — Iowa guard Josh Dix is out for the Hawkeyes’ matchup with Rider on Tuesday.

Dix injured his wrist during Iowa’s win over Washington State on Friday in Moline, Ill. He tried playing through it but was largely ineffective and finished the game with just two points.

“Hopefully Josh’s injury will be taken care of relatively quickly,” Iowa coach Fran McCaffery said after the game. “We’ll have to see.”

The junior has started four games for the Hawkeyes this season, averaging 12.3 points and four assists per contest while shooting 44.4% from deep.

The Hawkeyes have already been hit with injuries fairly often this season. Seydou Traore missed the first two games. Owen Freeman was unavailable for the game against South Dakota due to illness. Freshman Chris Tadjo, who is also out Tuesday, has also missed time.

Iowa plays Utah State on Friday in Kansas City, Missouri, in what is expected to be the Hawkeyes’ biggest challenge to date this season. The Aggies will enter that matchup with a 4-0 overall record and haven’t scored less than 95 points each game this season.

Dix’s status for that matchup will be an important storyline to track.
