The United Auto Workers and Stellantis NVhave reached a tentative agreement toward ending a 44-day strike,according to a source familiar with the information.
Members of the United Auto Workers hold a picket at Stellantis headquarters during their strike against Detroit's Big Three automakers, on Sept. 20, 2023, Auburn Hills, Michigan.
It also includes product allocation for most U.S. plants, including vehicle assembly at the Belvidere, Illinois, assembly plant that Stellantis idled earlier this year, according to two sources. It comes on the 44th day of the union’s strike against Stellantis and General Motors Co., the same number of days as the original sit-down strike against GM in Flint for which this year’s targeted “stand-up” strike against the Detroit Three was named.
Also included are revived cost-of-living adjustments, suspended in the 2007 agreement, and a reduction in the time for new workers to reach the top wage scale from eight years to three years, the union said. The Ford deal also includes improvements for current retirees, workers with pensions, and those who have 401 plans. It includes a right to strike over plant closures, a first for the union.
“My plant was idled, and now we’re out here doing this,” Alfonso Galindo, 44, of Sylvania, Ohio, who transferred to Stellantis’ Toledo Assembly Plant in July after Belvidere idled, said on the picket line on Saturday morning. “I’d love to go back.”
