On Monday morning, 6,800 union members walked out of the plant, accompanied by UAW President Shawn Fain.LaMona Wilkins is one of the 6,800 UAW members answering the call from their union president, shutting down production at Sterling Heights Assembly.The actions against Stellantis and GM on back-to-back days may be a bit of a shock based on how talks progressed last week.
