UAW Files Unfair Labor Charges Against Stellantis Over Contract Violations

The union alleges the automaker is attempting to move Dodge Durango production out of the U.S. and delaying the reopening of the Belvidere plant.

The United Auto Workers (UAW) has filed federal unfair labor practice charges against Stellantis, accusing the company of violating contract terms.
The UAW claims Stellantis is planning to move production of the Dodge Durango from Detroit to Canada, which they argue breaches their agreement.
Stellantis has delayed reopening the Belvidere, Illinois, assembly plant, as well as the construction of a parts distribution center and an electric vehicle battery plant.
The union has threatened to strike if Stellantis does not adhere to the commitments outlined in their 2023 contract.
Stellantis denies the allegations, stating that it is managing production plans based on market conditions and will communicate with the UAW at the appropriate time.
