WASHINGTON, Sept 17 — Negotiators for the United Auto Workers and Ford Motor had “reasonably productive discussions” toward a new contract, the union said yesterday, while officials at Chrysler parent Stellantis said a proposal to resume work at an idled Illinois factory has fallen through.
“As we have said all along, Ford has bet on the UAW more than any other company. We are committed to reaching an agreement with UAW that rewards our workers and allows Ford to invest in the future. We have to win together,” Mark Truby, Ford’s chief communications officer, said in a statement. Mark Stewart, the North American chief operating officer for Stellantis, told reporters on Saturday the UAW rejected a proposal to resume operations at an assembly plant in Belvidere, Illinois, noting that the company’s offer had been contingent on reaching agreement before the contract expiration.
Stewart declined to offer specific details, but added that Stellantis was still willing to talk about the facility’s future. He described the company’s latest overall contract offer as “very compelling.” On Friday, Ford said it was indefinitely laying off 600 workers at a Michigan plant because of the impact of the strike at the facility, which makes the Bronco SUV, and GM told some 2,000 workers at a Kansas car plant that their factory likely would be shut down next week for lack of parts, stemming from a strike at a Missouri plant.
“Their plan won’t work,” Fain said in a statement. “We’ll organise one day longer than they can, and go the distance to win economic and social justice at the Big Three.”
