The UAW said it expanded its strike against the Big Three Detroit automakers to Stellantis’s largest plant because it “lags” behind both General Motors and Ford in contract negotiations.
Striking United Auto Workers member Leo Cavazos pickets outside a Stellantis-owned Chrysler-Mopar parts distribution center in Morrow, Ga., on Oct. 12. The United Auto Workers widened its strike to Stellantis’s massive assembly plant in Sterling Heights, Mich., on Monday morning, with 6,800 more workers walking off the job at the site that manufactures the firm’s best-selling Ram 1500 trucks.
The union has been locked in tense contract negotiations with the automakers for months. On Sept. 15, the union stopped work at one factory from each company, and it has gradually pulled workers from dozens of additional factories and warehouses out on strike.on Oct. 12 to Ford’s giant truck and SUV factory in Louisville, as 8,700 workers walked off the job at a plant that makes up about one-sixth of the company’s global revenue.
But he also highlighted what he saw as Stellantis’s shortcomings. The firm is offering a four-year progression to full pay, while GM and Ford have offered around three-year progressions, Fain said. He also noted that Stellantis has continued to offer a “deficient” cost-of-living adjustment proposal, compared with Ford and GM, that doesn’t kick in until after the first year. Meanwhile, Stellantis’s starting wage offer for temp workers remains at $20 an hour, he said.
