UAW union announced this Saturday that it has reached a tentative agreement with Stellantis, the parent company in the USA of Jeep, Dodge, and Chrysler.
This agreement with Stellantis comes three days after the union and Ford Motor announced a tentative deal on a new labor contract. The two agreements are ultimately quite similar, with a general wage increase of 25% for UAW members as well as the possibility of wage adjustments based on the cost of living in the event of soaring inflation.
“We have achieved a historic victory,” said UAW President Shawn Fain in a video posted on Facebook. “We sincerely believe we have secured the best deal possible for the company.”
The union also secured commitments to keep a thermal engine plant in Trenton, Michigan, open and to maintain and expand a machining plant in Toledo, Ohio. According to the union, these measures will create up to 5,000 new jobs in the United States.
