UAW President Fain announces strike vote plans at Stellantis

CNN

United Auto Workers union President Shawn Fain said Tuesday the group plans to hold strike authorization votes against Stellantis because the automaker was failing to live up to guarantees it made during a labor deal struck last year.

In a speech to members Tuesday night, Fain said the UAW is prepared to hold strike authorization votes at one or more locals that represent Stellantis workers and to have those workers go on strike if the company does not meet union demands.

During the livestreamed speech, Fain said that the union would be “holding strike authorization votes at one or more Stellantis locals. And we will stand united to enforce our contract and save American jobs.”

Strike votes are common when a contract is nearing an end and negotiations on a new deal are beginning. In the past, the union agreed not to strike during the life of a contract.
