Stellantis and the UAW are embroiled in a heated fight that is escalating quickly. The two sides have been sparring for months after Stellantis announced plans to delay the reopening of the Belvidere Assembly Plant in Illinois over “market conditions.” The UAW contends that the move is a ploy to kick the can past their contract’s expiration date and never open the plant. Stellantis insists that this is a delay, not a cancellation.
