“UAW President Shawn Fain on Tuesday called CEO Carlos Tavares and Stellantis management ‘out of control’ and pledged to force the automaker to honor its contract commitments as he laid out a process for upcoming strike votes against the automaker that owns the Jeep, Ram, Chrysler, Dodge and Fiat brands. The online address from Solidarity House in Detroit in many ways reflected the tone and approach that Fain took with similar sessions during last year’s ‘Stand Up Strike’ against Ford Motor Co., General Motors and Stellantis, except in this case the focus was solely on Stellantis. Fain, in between sips from a mug with the words, ‘BOSS’S TEARS,’ blasted the company and said the UAW is prepared to enforce contract provisions negotiated last year that allow the union to strike over product and plant investment commitments.” (09/18/24)
