GM And Stellantis Announce Layoff Plans Amid UAW Strikes

Union President Shawn Fain vows to announce new strike targets on Friday unless there is 'serious progress' toward agreements.

General Motors and Stellantis announced plans to conduct layoffs amid the ongoing United Auto Workers strike.

The auto manufacturers blamed the layoffs on the strike as the labor standoff has grown more tense and brought damage to the companies.

Stellantis however, has delivered a contract proposal to the UAW union which is the first sign of light at the end of the tunnel. The offer primarily covers non-economic issues and it is unclear if it will satisfy Union President Shawn Fain who vows to announce new strike targets on Friday unless there is ‘serious progress’ toward agreements.

So far, UAW workers are striking at only three factories, one for each company. This is the first time in history workers are striking against GM, Ford and Stellantis at the same time.
