UAW Plans Strike Authorization Vote at Stellantis Truck Plant

The United Auto Workers union plans to hold a strike authorization vote next week at a Stellantis NV pickup truck plant in suburban Detroit as it seeks to escalate grievances over alleged outsourced work.

The vote will be held on May 7 and 8 for members of UAW Local 1700, said Mike Spencer, president of the chapter that represents about 6,000 workers at Stellantis’ Ram 1500 pickup plant in Sterling Heights, Michigan.
