AUBURN HILLS, Michigan ~ UAW‑represented Stellantis employees will not receive profit‑sharing checks for their 2025 work after the automaker reported multibillion‑dollar losses that failed to meet minimum thresholds established in the 2023 collective bargaining agreement.
Stellantis disclosed that its North American operations posted a negative profit margin for 2025, driven by factors including a $26.3 billion net loss, restructuring charges tied to a reset of its EV strategy, and the financial impact of tariffs. Under the UAW formula of $900 per 1 percent of North American profit margin, the company’s negative results produced no eligible payout.

(CONTINUED) The outcome marks the first time since 2011 that Stellantis hourly workers will miss the annual bonus, a sharp contrast from recent years in which employees received between roughly $3,700 and nearly $14,000. Rival autoworkers at Ford and General Motors will still receive reduced but meaningful profit‑sharing checks, underscoring the competitive gap highlighted by this year’s results.
Company leaders described the year as “very challenging” and said ongoing corrective measures—such as product‑line shifts and strategic cost adjustments—are intended to strengthen performance heading into 2026. Union officials, meanwhile, criticized Stellantis’ management for decisions they say contributed to the downturn, arguing workers should not bear the consequences of corporate missteps.
