DETROIT, Sept 17 (Reuters) - The United Auto Workers
union plans to hold strike authorization votes at one or more of
its Stellantis ( STLA ) locals in the coming days, union
president Shawn Fain said on Tuesday, which could lead to a
disruptive walkout against the Jeep maker.
The UAW leader has in recent months called out Stellantis ( STLA )
CEO Carlos Tavares for failing to keep the product and
investment commitments the automaker agreed to after the union
conducted a six-week walkout last fall.
"We are still waiting for the company to make good on the
vast majority of its product commitments. Not all of them are
contract violations yet. But we're watching them closely and
we're preparing to take action," Fain said in a video address on
Tuesday evening.
Local Stellantis ( STLA ) chapters have filed grievances related to
the company's alleged plan to move production of the Dodge
Durango out of the United States, union leaders said this week.
The union on Monday also filed unfair labor practice claims
with the National Labor Relations Board against Stellantis ( STLA ),
saying the company refused to provide information about its
future product plans.
