“We have continued to bargain in good faith with the UAW, and our goal remains to reach an agreement as quickly as possible.”įain made no mention of the talks with GM or explain the decision to expand the strike there.

“We are disappointed by the UAW’s action in light of the progress we have made,” GM said in a statement about the strike’s expansion. But nearly 4,000 GM factory workers that build Cadillac and GMC SUVs in Spring Hill, Tennessee, joined the strike at 5 pm CT. The 14,600 UAW members who have been on strike at Stellantis will be returning to work within days. Once again, we’ve achieved just weeks ago what we were told was impossible,” Shawn Fain said in a video posted to X, formerly known as Twitter. “On Day 44 of our Stand Up Strike, I am honored to announce that our union is again victorious. They hailed it as a major victory, as the tentative agreement includes the revival of an Illinois assembly plant that was closed in February, originally putting 1,200 people out of work, along with other wins for the union. The deal with Stellantis, which makes vehicles under the Dodge, Ram, Chrysler and Jeep brands, was announced Saturday by UAW President Shawn Fain and Vice President Rich Boyer, the union’s chief negotiator in the talks. But it expanded the strike against General Motors, America’s largest automaker and the last remaining Big Three holdout, dashing hopes it was close to ending the last remaining auto strike. The United Auto Workers union came to a tenative agreement with Stellantis Saturday.
