A high-profile spat between the United Auto Workers and Stellantis over reopening an Illinois factory complex has made its way into the race for U.S. president and could elicit a strike against the automaker.
DETROIT ? In a speech at the Democratic National Convention on Monday night, union President Shawn Fain accused the company of reneging on promises to restart a now-closed assembly plant in Belvidere, Illinois, just over an hour northwest of Chicago. The union won the reopening in contract talks last fall after a six-week strike at multiple factories run by Jeep and Ram maker Stellantis, as well as General Motors, and Ford. ?Let me be clear.
? In a grievance filed with the company, the UAW said Stellantis has said it won't open a parts distribution hub in Belvidere this year, it won't restart metal stamping operations there in 2025, and it doesn't plan to begin producing a midsize truck at the Belvidere plant in 2027. The delays violate the 2023 contract, the union said, and could last into 2028, after the current agreement expires.
