The United Auto Workers (UAW) union filed federal unfair labor practice charges against Stellantis for allegedly breaching contract terms and attempting to shift production of the Dodge Durango outside the U.S. This move comes as part of ongoing tensions between the union and Stellantis over production cuts and layoffs following last year’s contract agreement. UAW President Shawn Fain stated that Stellantis is reneging on commitments made in the 2023 contract, including reopening an assembly plant in Illinois and manufacturing the Durango in Detroit. Stellantis has denied violating the agreement and has yet to comment on the charges. Several UAW local chapters have also filed grievances against Stellantis for allegedly trying to relocate Durango production, potentially to a plant in Ontario, Canada. The NLRB has confirmed the filing, and the UAW currently has over 24 open grievances against Stellantis regarding the company’s product and investment plans outlined in the contract.
