Stellantis

The auto manufacturer said one of its own was killed in a fatal workplace accident Monday morning.

President Donald Trump's reciprocal tariffs executive order announcement included a focus on the auto industry, with a 25% tariff being placed on all foreign-made automobiles imported into the U.S.

Stellantis is temporarily laying off 900 U.S. workers in the U.S. - including at the Warren and Sterling Heights plants -- while also pausing production in Windsor.

Douglas King has been with Stellantis for close 30 years and the auto industry has changed and knows the company has to be nimble to compete.

Stellantis will also reopen its shuttered Belvidere plant in Illinois and invest in its Kokomo engine plant in Indiana.

The UAW is fighting back after holding their “Keep the Promise Rally and March” on Thursday.

The union claims Stellantis has failed to uphold a contract they signed last year and is asking its members to authorize its leadership to strike the company.

He maintains that striking is not the objective, but he affirms that union members are ready to walk the picket lines if necessary.

"What they have done with that statement, is they have completely paralyzed the company by fear," she said.

"To be clear, Stellantis has abided, and will continue to abide, by the agreement the parties reached in 2023," Stellantis' North America COO Carlos Zarlenga said in an email to the UAW.

Tensions are escalating between the UAW and Stellantis over claims from the union that the automaker isn't holding up its contract.
