[Greed vs greed...] UAW tells Stellantis workers to prepare for a fight, and vote for strike

for-a-fight-and-vote-for-strike/

The UAW union’s Stellantis Council met yesterday to discuss the 
beleaguered carmaker’s “ongoing failure” to honor the agreement that ended 
the 2023 labor strike, and their latest union memo doesn’t pull many 
punches.

It’s not a great time to be Stellantis. Its dealers are suing leadership 
and threatening to oust the company’s controversial CEO, Carlos Tavares, 
as sales continue to crater in North America, it can’t move its new, high-
profile electric Fiat, and it’s first luxury electric Jeep isn’t ready. 
And now, things are about to get bad.

In an email sent out by the UAW earlier today (received at 4:55PM CST), 
UAW President Shawn Fain wrote, “For years, the company picked us off 
plant-by-plant and we lacked the will and the means to fight back. Today 
is different. Because we stood together and demanded the right to strike 
over job security—product commitment—we have the tools to fight back and 
win … We unanimously recommend to the membership that every UAW worker at 
Stellantis prepare for a fight, and we all get ready to vote YES to 
authorize a strike at Stellantis.”

The dispute seems to stem from Stellantis’ inability to commit to new 
product (and continued employment) at its UAW-run plants and other 
failings to meet its strike-ending obligations. This, despite a €3 billion 
stock buyback executed in late 2023.

I’ve included the memo, in its entirety, below. Take a look for yourself, 
and let us know what you think of the UAW’s call for action in the 
comments.
