UAW's Escalating Conflict with Stellantis Sparks Threat of Strikes

The United Auto Workers (UAW) union is intensifying its standoff with Stellantis, filing multiple unfair labor charges and threatening strikes over alleged contract violations. The union's president has announced plans for strike authorization votes at Stellantis local chapters, citing concerns that the automaker is reneging on commitments surrounding factory work and job security. UAW officials have criticized Stellantis for its intentions to potentially move Dodge Durango production out of Detroit, signaling fears that U.S. auto jobs could be at risk. Amid growing tensions, the UAW calls for solidarity against what they describe as Stellantis's 'out of control' management practices, further complicating the relationship between the union and the automaker just a year after a historic strike.
