Stellantis said that it is critical that a business case be made for all investments to match market conditions “to ensure the company’s future competitiveness and sustainability, which are necessary to preserve U.S. manufacturing jobs.” The delays violate the 2023 contract, the union said, and could last into 2028, after the current agreement expires. “The union demands that the company rescind its decision to push back the above referenced launches and immediately plant for and fund the Belvidere investments,” a grievance filed by the union said.
