We are appalled by the UAW’s characterization of the incidents occurring on the picket lines. Since the UAW expanded its strike to our parts distribution centers last Friday, we’ve witnessed an escalation of dangerous, and even violent, behavior by UAW picketers at several of those facilities, including slashing truck tires, jumping on vehicles, following people […]

“We’re disappointed that the UAW chose to disrespect our customers by expanding their strike to the parts distribution centers. Fulfilling customer needs and maintaining their continued loyalty is a top priority. As a result, our contingency plans will serve the mobility needs of our loyal individual and professional customers including families, business owners, critical first responders and front-line workers; who all rely on their vehicles […]

On the first day of the strike, President Biden said UAW workers “deserve a contract that sustains them and the middle class.” We agree and presented a record offer.  Here are the facts: 21.4% compounded wage increase including a 10% increase at ratification, $1 Billion in retirement security benefits, inflation protection measure, job security and […]

All other production at this facility continues. In addition, we anticipate similar actions at Kokomo Transmission and Kokomo Casting in […]

Stellantis and the UAW resumed negotiations today. The discussion was constructive and focused on where we can find common ground to reach an agreement that provides a bridge to the future by enabling the Company to meet the challenges of electrification. Together with the UAW, we have the opportunity to establish a framework in this […]

Once again the Union has mischaracterized the facts. It was made very clear to the UAW leadership that the competitive offer presented on Sept. 14 included a strong future for Belvidere and was connected to the contract deadline. Our intention was to present a strong proposal for Belvidere and, at the same time, avoid a […]

We are extremely disappointed by the UAW leadership’s refusal to engage in a responsible manner to reach a fair agreement in the best interest of our employees, their families and our customers. We immediately put the Company in contingency mode and will take all the appropriate structural decisions to protect our North American operations and […]
