Labor Unions
The United Auto Workers said March 13 it filed unfair labor practice charges against Volkswagen, saying the automaker is trying to cut jobs at a factory in Tennessee where the union is negotiating its first contract after winning an election there last year.
It’s the first labor deal for Tennessee workers at the joint venture between GM and LG Energy Solution since they joined the UAW in September.
The union's stance reflects Fain’s long-held distain for free trade agreements that he believes have harmed U.S. auto workers.
Lana Payne said Canadian jobs are the primary target of Trump's 25 per-cent tariffs on Canadian imports into the United States.
The North America purchasing chief of Stellantis said at an industry town hall that the automaker will consider supplier requests for pricing relief, a reversal of a “no more claims” policy announced at the same event a year ago.
The checks amount to a yearly bonus tied to the companies’ financial performance, and they are the result of collective bargaining between the automakers and UAW.
The contract will cover over 400 employees who work at the auto parts plant near Detroit.
It’s rare for a year-end GM earnings report to generate kudos from both Wall Street and the UAW. It's not happening today, either, despite GM exceeding analysts' expectations.
Unifor President Lana Payne said talks are already underway between the union and NextStar Energy.
We don’t know what Stellantis Chairman John Elkann and former CEO Carlos Tavares were talking about in this picture shot last summer, but it's a good bet it wasn't very pleasant.
