The United Auto Workers union expanded its strike against the automaker Stellantis, calling on 6,800 workers at its Sterling Heights Assembly Plant outside Detroit to walk out Monday morning.
Stellantis shows off its Ram truck lineup at the Chicago Auto Show in Chicago on Feb. 9, 2023. The UAW ordered 6,800 union members to walk off their jobs at the company's lucrative Ram pickup assembly plant in Sterling Heights, Mich.United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain was adamant last week that the Big Three automakers can still offer more despite already putting record contracts on the table.
The union said it took the step because"Stellantis lags behind both Ford and General Motors in addressing the demands of their UAW workforce." Stellantis had agreed to cut the number of years it takes permanent employees to reach the top wage from eight to four, but Ford has now reduced the time to three years, Fain said.
