a separate deal with the union, brings the historic work stoppage against the Detroit Three one step closer to a complete end.
Talks between the UAW and General Motors are continuing — but union leaders announced a new strike at a GM plant in Spring Hill, Tennessee late Saturday shortly after announcing the Stellantis deal.The UAW said it saved 5,000 jobs that were going to be eliminated, plus got a commitment from Stellantis to add an additional 5,000 jobs by the end of the agreement in April 2028, union leaders said Saturday.
Stellantis also agreed to build a mid-sized truck at its recently closed factory in Belvidere, Ill., restoring thousands of jobs.Where it stands:Union leaders plan to present details of the contracts to members in a Facebook Live event on Sunday, after which they'll have several days to vote yay or nay.
The UAW ordered work stoppages at just a few key factories and parts centers at each company, effectively forcing the automakers to bargain against each other. Historically, the union would target one company for a strike until a deal was reached, and then seek a pattern agreement with the others.Share on facebook Share on email
