UAW Stellantis Family,
After months of pressure from UAW members and auto tariffs, Stellantis has announced a massive investment in U.S. manufacturing. At a meeting today, Stellantis corporate leadership informed President Fain and myself that the company will create 5,000 new UAW jobs over the next four years, with three new products. The company projects that they will increase production in the United States by 50% during this time period.

On Friday, August 15th, the company notified the International Union that it intended to designate Kokomo Transmission Plant (KTP) a Critical Plant, per M-2, Section 4 of our contract. Upon receiving this notice, we immediately contacted Local 685 to offer our support and began to discuss the decision with the company.
You are receiving this letter because you are a Seniority Employee indefinitely laid off by Stellantis, who recently worked at the Freud Street facility. It has come to the attention of the UAW Stellantis Department that many workers laid off from Freud Street have remaining questions about your rights under our contract. We are writing to answer your questions and provide you with a point of contact. View the full letter, here:
