The United Auto Workers expanded their ongoing strike Monday to Stellantis’ Sterling Heights Assembly Plant, where 6,800 workers will join the picket line.
The SHAP is Stellantis’ largest plant and a big moneymaker where it builds the popular Ram light-duty pickup trucks. The UAW launched its targeted Stand Up Strike against the Detroit automakers on Sept. 15.
Monday’s move was the fourth time the UAW has expanded the strike and comes after UAW President Shawn Fain detailed the latest proposals across the automakers on Friday, noting shortcomings in Stellantis’ current offer. The areas where Stellantis lags its crosstown rivals, General Motors and Ford Motor Co., included cost-of-living adjustment, progression time to the top wage, profit sharing and wages for temporary employees, as well as offerings to retirees.
