Under the contract, the union can authorize a strike once an issue has gone through the grievance process.
- The United Auto Workers union says it's preparing to file grievances and potentially strike after claiming Stellantis hasn't kept contract commitments regarding reopening the Belvidere Assembly Plant in Illinois . The Belvidere plant was idled in 2023, but in last year's contract, the automaker committed to reopening the facility, which would include the production of midsized trucks, according to a release from the UAW.
'Aside from the impact on Belvidere, this glaring violation of the contract imperils all of the other investment commitments the company has made, and also impacts Stellantis members nationally, as they will not have those jobs for transfer opportunities in the event of layoffs,' according to the release.
