United Auto Workers<\/a> union members who went on strike Saturday at the Stellantis casting plant in Indiana have reached a tentative deal with the company.<\/p>\n

The UAW<\/a> Local 1166 bargaining committee announced a tentative agreement<\/a> in a blog post, saying that a ratification vote would be held Monday.<\/p>\n

Stellantis confirmed the tentative deal Monday.<\/p>\n

The strike was related to health and safety issues<\/a>, including the company\u2019s alleged refusal to repair<\/a> and replace the plant\u2019s air conditioning and heating systems.<\/p>\n

The 35-acre plant in Kokomo makes parts used in the power trains of Chrysler<\/a>, Dodge<\/a>, Jeep<\/a> and RAM<\/a> vehicles. The 1,200-worker plant, Kokomo Casting, is the world\u2019s largest die cast facility, according to Stellantis.<\/p>\n

In May, Stellantis announced a $2.5 billion joint venture with Samsung<\/a> to build an electric vehicle<\/a> battery factory in Kokomo that is to employ 1,400 workers.<\/p>\n

Stellantis, created last year through the merger of Fiat<\/a> Chrysler and France\u2019s PSA Peugeot<\/a>, had said it would build two electric vehicle battery factories in North America. The other is slated for Windsor, Ontario.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
