Stellantis and the UAW have reached a tentative labor contract agreement that includes a 25 percent raise for workers and the revival of the idled Belvidere Assembly. The agreement will be voted on by Stellantis union leaders and the rank-and-file. The union was able to save jobs and secure commitments from Stellantis.
Stellantis and the UAW reached a tentative labor contract agreement Saturday that includes a 25 percent raise for workers over the life of the pact and a revival of the idled Belvidere Assembly in Illinois.
UAW leaders, in a video Saturday evening, said the company promised to add midsize truck production on two shifts at Belvidere, which has been idled since February. Union leaders said Stellantis also planned to add more than 1,000 jobs at a new battery plant there. The lowest-paid workers at Stellantis, temporary workers, will see a raise of more than 165 per cent over the life of the agreement. Some workers at Mopar will receive an immediate 76-per-cent increase upon ratification.
The deal also includes 401 retirement and pension enhancements for current workers as well as retirees, the UAW said. The 44-day strike, which remains ongoing at General Motors, threw a wrench into Stellantis' parts operations and halted production of key models such as the Ram 1500 and Jeep Wrangler.
