May 7, 2024 ~ UAW workers at the Stellantis Warren Stamping Plant have voted to strike, if an agreement isn’t reached on health and safety concerns. WJR Senior News Analyst Marie Osborne talks with Guy Gordon, Lloyd Jackson, and Jamie Edmonds about workers wondering when a work stoppage could happen.
(CONTINUED) Union officials said because the grievance process has been exhausted, workers can call for a strike under the union’s national contract agreement with the automaker. The UAW has national and local contracts in every plant, each covering differing parts of the workforce’s issues.
Warren Stamping makes hoods, liftgates, fenders, floor pans, and other components that go into Dodge Durangoes, Chrysler Pacificas, Jeep Gladiators, Wranglers, and Wagoneers, as well as Ram pickups. A strike at the facility could impact operations at other facilities.
