Stellantis and the UAW have reached a tentative agreement that includes bringing a new vehicle and adjacent battery manufacturing facility to the idled Belvidere Assembly Plant
Stellantis and the United Auto Workers have reached a tentative agreement that, if approved, will bring pay raises, improved benefits and most importantly for Illinois, a new vehicle and an EV battery plant to Belvidere. The tentative agreement, announced Saturday by the UAW, includes a 25% increase in base wages, cost of living adjustments and the right to strike over plant closures, mirroring a similar deal struck by Ford on Wednesday.
” For nearly six decades, the massive auto plant has been the economic engine of Belvidere, churning out everything from the Plymouth Fury and the Chrysler New Yorker to the Dodge Dart. The Belvidere plant became the exclusive home for the Jeep Cherokee in 2017. The region’s largest employer at its zenith, the plant had 5,464 workers on three shifts at the start of 2019, after building 270,000 of the SUVs during the previous year.
