sample quote
The tentative Stellantis agreement, which would still need to be approved by union leaders and ratified by members, is patterned off a 4½-year agreement reached between the union and Ford Motor on Wednesday, sources previously told CNBC.
Bloomberg News first reported Saturday the company made additional concessions to the UAW and the union aims to announce a tentative agreement this afternoon that includes a new product for an idled Stellantis assembly plant in Illinois.
“Through the power of our Stand Up Strike, we have saved Belvidere,” said UAW Vice President Rich Boyer. “Eight months ago, Stellantis idled Belvidere Assembly Plant, putting 1,200 of our members on the street. From the strength of our strike, we are bringing back those jobs and more.” He added that Stellantis is reopening the plant and the company will also add more than a thousand jobs at a new battery plant in Belvidere.

The deal comes after the union reached an agreement on Wednesday with Ford. That agreement still needs to be approved by union leaders and ratified by members.
The tentative agreement is expected to end six weeks of targeted labor strikes by the union after the sides failed to reach new deals for 146,000 UAW members before a Sept. 14 deadline. The union called back more than 16,000 striking Ford workers after reaching a tentative deal with the automaker.
Ford’s deal included 25% pay increases over the term of the agreement, including an initial increase of 11%. The raises and benefits cumulatively raise the top wage to more than $40 an hour, including an increase of 68% for starting wages to over $28 an hour.
It also reinstated cost-of-living adjustments,
reduced an eight-year path to top wages to three years
and allowed the right to strike over plant closures, among other significantly enhanced benefits.
snip...
Ford said Thursday that the union’s strike has cost it $1.3 billion and the deal, if ratified by members,
would increase labor costs by roughly $850 to $900 per vehicle produced.
