The United Auto Workers union has widened its strike against General Motors, the lone holdout among the three Detroit automakers.
Spring Hill General Motors workers picket outside of the plant in Spring Hill, Tenn., after United Auto Workers Local 1853 announced a strike after 44 days of negotiations with GM, Sunday, Oct. 29, 2023.
GM said it was disappointed with the additional strike at the Spring Hill plant, which has 11 million square feet of building space, "in light of the progress we have made." It said in a statement that is has bargained in good faith and wants a deal as soon as possible. Fain said in a video appearance Saturday night that 43,000 members at Stelantis would have to vote on the deal — just as Ford workers must. About 14,000 UAW workers had been on strike at two Stellantis assembly plants in Michigan and Ohio, and several parts distribution centers across the country. The company makes Jeep and Ram vehicles.
Fain said Stellantis had proposed cutting 5,000 U.S. jobs, but the union's strike changed that to adding 5,000 jobs by the end of the contract. Like the Ford agreement, it will take just three years for new workers to get to the top of the assembly pay scale, the union said.
