United Auto Workers (UAW) employees with Stellantis are planning to hold a strike vote, and are accusing the carmaker of violating the terms of a labor deal agreed to in 2023. 

UAW president Shawn Fain announced on September 17 that members at one or more of its locals representing Stellantis workers plan to hold strike authorization votes sometime in the coming days, according to CNN. This comes just a day after the UAW filed charges with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), accusing Stellantis of engaging in unfair labor practices, alleging that the company had failed to give the union required details about product commitments agreed to in their 2023 contract. The UAW also claimed that Stellantis had illegally attempted to offshore production of the Dodge Durango.

Stellantis makes vehicles under Jeep, Ram, Chrysler and Dodge brands, and employs around 43,000 UAW members across 19 manufacturing facilities in North America. It's unclear which of those facilities plan to vote on a strike authorization, although a work stoppage at any of them could have wide-ranging impacts on Stellantis' global operations. 

In a statement to CNN, Stellantis claimed that Fain has "provided no data or information to back up his claims," adding that it would prefer to address the union's grievances in face-to-face talks. Stellantis also denied that it had finalized any decision to offshore the Durango.
