United Auto Workers union members elected a new “activist” slate of leaders in December 2022. That includes Dave Green, an Indiana worker who vows to use his new position to make the UAW more “accountable” to members.

United Auto Workers union members who went on strike Saturday at a Stellantis casting plant in Indiana are returning to work after ratifying a deal with the company.

The UAW Local 1166 bargaining committee announced a tentative agreement in a blog post, saying that a ratification vote would be held Monday.

Honda said Wednesday that it will shut down plants in North America, including one in Greensburg, for a week starting Monday. On Tuesday night, Detroit's three automakers agreed to rotating temporary production suspensions.

Officials with GM and local UAW 2209 say they were unable to come to an agreement to hire the laid-off temporary workers.

The deal includes a $9,000 bonus per worker upon ratification. The company also has promised $4.5 billion worth of new investments in U.S. factories.

The proposed four-year contract with Fiat Chrysler would add about 8,000 new jobs while doubling previously announced investments. The automaker has plants in Kokomo and Tipton.

The United Auto Workers union on Monday turned its bargaining focus to Fiat Chrysler, raising the possibility of another strike against a Detroit automaker.

United Auto Workers ratified a new four year contract with General Motors Friday afternoon. Indiana local chapters were split on approving the contract but workers are heading back to work.

The United Auto Workers union said in a statement Friday that workers had approved the new four-year deal. But no vote totals were given.
