The United Auto Workers union expanded its walkout this week, shutting down a Stellantis facility in Michigan that makes the popular Ram 1500 trucks.
UAW leadership announced the new work stoppage on Monday at Stellantis’ Sterling Heights Assembly Plant near Detroit, with nearly 7,000 workers hitting the picket lines.
The strike expansion comes as Stellantis tries to hammer out a deal. The company’s management was furious about the work stoppage, saying UAW leadership didn’t even acknowledge its most recent offer.
