UAW Protests Stellantis Job Cuts in Michigan
News summary

Stellantis announced a $406 million investment in three Michigan plants, including $97 million in the Warren Truck Assembly Plant, but also plans to eliminate the second shift at the Warren Truck Plant, affecting nearly 2,500 jobs. This prompted a rally by UAW members, emphasizing that the investment represents only a fraction of Stellantis' contractual commitments. UAW President Shawn Fain criticized Stellantis for not honoring its promises, highlighting that only 2% of national commitments have been met. The union is also concerned about the fate of the idled Belvidere Assembly Plant in Illinois and has threatened a national strike if obligations are not fulfilled. Stellantis maintains that it is not violating agreements and is focusing on adapting to industry changes. The tension between the automaker and the union underscores broader issues in the U.S. manufacturing sector, including fears of job relocations to low-wage countries.
