值得一提的是，UAW近日同样警告Stellantis(STLA.US)称，若该公司不履行劳工协议，将面临罢工行动。资料显示，为了结束针对底特律三大汽车公司的前所未有的罢工，福特、通用汽车和Stellantis此前同意了UAW的条款，包括大幅加薪、提高退休供款。其中，Stellantis承诺在底特律生产道奇杜兰戈，并重新开放位于伊利诺伊州贝尔维迪尔(Belvidere)的一家闲置装配厂。The United Auto Workers (UAW) threatened that if Ford Motor does not resolve local contract issues, they will hold a strike next week in the tooling and mold department at the River Rouge factory near Detroit, Michigan.
China Fortune Financial & Economic App learned that the United Auto Workers (UAW) threatened that if Ford Motor (F.US) does not resolve local contract issues, they will hold a strike next week in the tooling and mold department at the River Rouge factory near Detroit, Michigan.
The strike deadline set by the UAW is 11:59 PM on September 25th local time, as Ford has failed to reach an agreement with factory workers over a year after the contract deadline. According to UAW officials, the River Rouge factory of Ford has about 6,000 employees, with over 500 employees in the tooling and mold department. UAW stated that core negotiation issues include job security, pay equality, and work rules. Ford, on the other hand, stated: 'The company invested $15 million in the factory last year. We have been negotiating to resolve the issues. Negotiations are still ongoing, and we look forward to reaching an agreement.'
It is worth mentioning that UAW recently warned Stellantis (STLA.US) that if the company does not fulfill the labor agreement, they will face strike action. Information shows that in order to end unprecedented strikes against the Big Three automakers in Detroit, Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis previously agreed to UAW's terms, including substantial pay raises and increased retirement benefits. Stellantis has committed to producing Dodge Durango in Detroit and reopening an idle assembly plant in Belvidere, Illinois.
But due to high inventory, declining sales, and a highly profitable contract signed with the UAW that raised auto worker wages by at least 25%, Stellantis is working to cut costs, first through company-wide layoffs, and now plans to move Durango production to Windsor, Canada, and shut down the Belvidere plant.
The UAW stated that the company failed to plan, fund, and initiate these projects, violating the U.S. investment letter in the P&M and OC&E collective bargaining agreements. During the 2023 negotiations, both parties agreed to the investment plan for Belvidere to address job security concerns affecting all unit members of the systemwide negotiations. The company failed to fulfill its commitments in the U.S. investment letter, which is a serious concern for all unit members. The UAW demands that Stellantis rescind its decision, immediately plan and fund the reopening of the Belvidere plant. Failure to do so may trigger another strike against the company.
