Will Auto Workers Strike to Hold Stellantis to Its Promises?

Today, the United Auto Workers filed unfair labor practice charges against Stellantis with the National Labor Relations Board over the company’s refusal to provide information about its plans for product commitments.

The UAW’s Strike Wins Could Mark a Shift Toward a New Kind of Unionism

The UAW just reached a tentative contract deal with automaker Stellantis, which agreed to reopen a shuttered plant. By reasserting control over company investment decisions, the union is carving out a more expansive role for workers in shaping the economy.
