The strike authorization vote at Stellantis passed by 95%. The following is a statement from UAW Vice President Rich Boyer, director of the UAW-Stellantis Department:

“The 44,000 UAW members at Stellantis have said with one voice that they are demanding an end to tiers, COLA and big wage increases like the Stellantis executives have enjoyed,” said UAW Vice President Rich Boyer, director of the UAW-Stellantis Department. “Stellantis has made astronomical profits over the last decade and recently announced they made a record $12 billion in profits in the first half of this year. This strike vote is a warning to Stellantis: we know the company can afford our demands and we are united and willing to do what it takes to win them.”
