The United Auto Workers Union (UAW) has filed federal labor charges against Stellantis with the National Labor Relations Board. Stellantis has been accused multiple times of breaking commitments as part of the 2023 collective bargaining agreement and refusing to provide information about plans to relocate manufacturing overseas. In order to end unprecedented strikes against the Detroit Big Three automakers, Ford, General Motors Company, and Stellantis previously agreed to terms with the UAW, including substantial pay raises and increased retirement benefits, especially with Stellantis committing to produce the Dodge Durango in Detroit and reopening a dormant assembly plant in Belvidere, Illinois. However, with high inventory levels, declining sales, and a lucrative contract signed with UAW that raised auto workers' wages by at least 25%, Stellantis is looking to cut costs, initially through company-wide layoffs, and now plans to shift production of the Durango to Windsor, Canada, and close the Belvidere plant.
