The United Auto Workers (UAW) has announced plans for members to vote on authorizing a strike against Stellantis, accusing the company of failing to uphold commitments made in their 2023 contract. UAW President Shawn Fain criticized Stellantis for allegedly refusing to provide information regarding product commitments, particularly the reopening of the Belvidere Assembly Plant in Illinois, which is crucial for thousands of jobs. The union also filed unfair labor practice charges with the National Labor Relations Board, alleging illegal actions related to the potential relocation of Dodge Durango production overseas. Workers fear that Stellantis might not only delay the reopening of the plant but also break other commitments, threatening job security across the industry. This situation has raised concerns among UAW members and could impact labor strategies at competing automakers like Ford and General Motors. The UAW has indicated readiness to take necessary actions to hold Stellantis accountable for its promises.
