   [Greed vs greed...] UAW tells Stellantis

   for-a-fight-and-vote-for-strike/   
      
   The UAW union’s Stellantis Council met yesterday to discuss the   
   beleaguered carmaker’s “ongoing failure” to honor the agreement that ended   
   the 2023 labor strike, and their latest union memo doesn’t pull many   
   punches.   
      
   It’s not a great time to be Stellantis. Its dealers are suing leadership   
   and threatening to oust the company’s controversial CEO, Carlos Tavares,   
   as sales continue to crater in North America, it can’t move its new, high-   
   profile electric Fiat, and it’s first luxury electric Jeep isn’t ready.   
   And now, things are about to get bad.   
      
   In an email sent out by the UAW earlier today (received at 4:55PM CST),   
   UAW President Shawn Fain wrote, “For years, the company picked us off   
   plant-by-plant and we lacked the will and the means to fight back. Today   
   is different. Because we stood together and demanded the right to strike   
   over job security—product commitment—we have the tools to fight back and   
   win … We unanimously recommend to the membership that every UAW worker at   
   Stellantis prepare for a fight, and we all get ready to vote YES to   
   authorize a strike at Stellantis.”   
      
   The dispute seems to stem from Stellantis’ inability to commit to new   
   product (and continued employment) at its UAW-run plants and other   
   failings to meet its strike-ending obligations. This, despite a €3 billion   
   stock buyback executed in late 2023.   
      
   I’ve included the memo, in its entirety, below. Take a look for yourself,   
   and let us know what you think of the UAW’s call for action in the   
   comments.
