Stellantis Signs New European Work Council Agreement
Click for more.
Stellantis (NYSE: STLA) said this morning that it signed a new European Works Council (EWC) agreement yesterday. Next, 37 new European Works Council members will be designated in the coming weeks to build the EWC, supporting more than 100,000 employees representing 13 countries, including Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Spain and the UK as consultive member.*
“We are confident that this agreement lays the foundation for Stellantis’ European social structure, setting the stage for our shared future,” said Stellantis Chief Human Resources & Transformation Officer Xavier Chéreau. “Our unified European Works Council will play a pivotal role in managing the strategic transformation that the automotive industry will undergo in the coming years.”
However, in the U.S. where there is no works council structure. The UAW filed federal unfair labor practice charges at the National Labor Relations Board earlier this week. The UAW said this is over what it says is Stellantis’ illegal refusal to provide information about the company’s plans regarding product commitments it made in the UAW’s 2023 collective bargaining agreement. Several UAW locals with thousands of members have also filed contract grievances over the company’s attempt to move Dodge Durango production out of the United States, in violation of the UAW’s national agreement.
“The new EWC will play a key role in informing and consulting employees on a transnational level, ensuring their voices are heard. Additionally, it will be essential in supporting Stellantis’ strategy of sustainable performance and transformation, always prioritizing the best interests of employees,” Stellantis said. AutoInformed notes that there is a double standard in play here – clearly working against North American employees.
