The United Auto Workers (UAW) union members at Stellantis' Los Angeles parts distribution center have overwhelmingly approved a strike authorization vote, demanding increased U.S. investments from the automaker. The vote signifies growing tensions between the union and Stellantis, with the UAW prepared to walk out if their demands are not met. In response, Stellantis has filed a federal lawsuit against the UAW in California, alleging that the union's strike threats are illegal. Stellantis management is expected to address the situation in a town hall meeting on October 15, 2024. The news was reported by Reuters.
