UAW Local 1166 reached a tentative agreement with the Stellantis Kokomo Casting plant Sunday night.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe bargaining committee stood strong with the support of the striking UAW Local 1166 members to win an agreement that will correct the poor working conditions,\u201d says UAW President Ray Curry. \u201cThis tentative agreement is a testament to UAW solidarity. Their working conditions will greatly improve, and they have given us all inspiration to fight for justice and respect in our workplaces.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe environment in the plant has deteriorated over the years due the company\u2019s decision to save money by not properly maintaining or providing the proper HVAC in the plant,\u201d adds Vice President and Director of the Stellantis Department Cindy Estrada. \u201cThe bargaining committee also fought hard to win dozens of demands that the members had submitted. This agreement will address these and many other issues that will benefit the Local 1166 members.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe auto companies must know that our members will not be sacrificed with cost cutting efforts as they transition the auto industry,\u201d says Region 2B Director Wayne Blanchard. \u201cThe UAW membership has delivered quality products with their hard work and dedication while Stellantis has reaped record profits. Local 1166 members have shown that the membership of the UAW will push back when the company shows little regard for how their employees are treated.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

UAW Local 1166 members will be holding ratification meetings on Monday, September 12.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
