UAW President's Visit Sparks Enthusiasm and Unity Among Striking Jeep Workers
United Auto Workers' President Shawn Fain joined union workers on strike at the Stellantis Assembly Plant in Toledo, Ohio, as part of their ongoing demands for better pay, an end to tiered wages, and a "just transition to electric vehicles." Fain emphasized the need for workers to receive their fair share and expressed determination to continue the fight until their demands are met. The strike has expanded to about 17% of the union's workforce, with workers in Illinois and Michigan also walking off the job. Stellantis has been engaged in discussions with the UAW but gaps remain, and Fain stated that they will continue pushing until a fair and responsible agreement is reached.
