I have written or edited about the auto industry on and off (mostly on) since 1985, first at The Indianapolis Star then, for more than a dozen years, at Bloomberg News in Detroit, followed by almost nine years at SME Media.
The United Auto Workers union on Tuesday night said it may go on strike against Stellantis , alleging the automaker is not fulfilling terms of a 2023 labor accord.
“Stellantis wants everyone to believe they simply can’t keep their commitments to American autoworkers,” UAW President Shawn Fain saidA year ago, the Detroit-based union went on strike against Stellantis, General Motors Co., and Ford Motor Co. The UAW targeted key factories that produce the bulk of profits at the automakers..
At Stellantis, the UAW contract called for reopening a factory at Belvidere, Illinois. That reopening hasn’t occurred yet. The union also accuses Stellantis of wanting to shift production of the Dodge Durango from Michigan to Canada. “We’re damn sure not going to turn around and let Stellantis violate our agreement,” Fain said. “This is binding…The company is planning to violate this agreement.”The union has filed grievances at 28 Stellantis local unions, Fain said. The UAW president said the union will convene its Stellantis council and will be conducting strike authorization votes.
