UAW Escalating Campaign to Keep the Promise at Stellantis with Detroit-Area Rally and March on Thursday

WHAT:    Keep the Promise Rally and March
WHEN:   Thursday, Oct. 3, 3:30 PM
WHERE: UAW Local 1264, 7450 15 Mile Rd, #2, Sterling Heights, MI 48312

STERLING HEIGHTS, Mich. — UAW President Shawn Fain will headline a Detroit-area rally and march on Thursday demanding that Stellantis fulfill its promise to invest in good American jobs. Stellantis is trying to backtrack on its contractual commitments to build the Dodge Durango in Detroit and to reopen the Belvidere Assembly Plant in Illinois.

“We are done with the days of plant closings,” said UAW President Shawn Fain. “During the Stand Up Strike, UAW members at Stellantis fought and won a commitment from the company to reopen Belvidere and invest billions in our plants across the country. That was a promise to invest in America and we’re going to make sure they keep the promise.”

Thursday’s Keep the Promise Rally will begin at 3:30 p.m. at UAW Local 1264 in Sterling Heights. Rally-goers will then march roughly half a mile to Stellantis’ Sterling Stamping Plant. ** UAW members will not be picketing or striking, this is not a work stoppage.  Attendees will not block traffic or driveways. Workers must work their shifts as scheduled. **

The rally and march are part of the UAW’s ongoing campaign to enforce the union’s contract at Stellantis. The campaign began when UAW locals representing tens of thousands of Stellantis workers filed grievances with the company over its failure to Keep the Promise made in contract negotiations in 2023. Once the grievance procedure is exhausted under the national contract, the union may authorize a strike.

Last week, nearly 200 leaders from UAW locals representing Stellantis workers from across the country met and voted unanimously to recommend that members get ready to vote YES to authorize a strike at Stellantis if the company refuses to fulfill its product and investment commitments.

For more information on the fight to make Stellantis Keep The Promise, visit UAW.org/KeepThePromise.
