For the last month, members of UAW Local 685 have been meeting outside of their headquarters every Sunday.
They're showing solidarity for UAW workers that are currently picketing. Kokomo hasn't been chosen to picket yet. Butler says they also want to get the local community involved.
Madison Johnson was at Sunday's gathering. She's one of the part-time temporary workers who is currently laid off. Since the strike started 780 Kokomo workers have been temporarily laid off. Stellantis says it's a consequence of the strike at the Toledo Assembly Complex. Johnson has been a temporary worker for five-and-a-half years. She says out of these negotiations she want to become full-time.
