On Wednesday, the White House emphasized the importance of Stellantis fulfilling its commitments to the United Auto Workers (UAW) union and the communities impacted by previous plant closures in the United States.

In response to growing pressure from U.S. lawmakers, Stellantis has reiterated its commitment to the United Auto Workers (UAW) and defended its decisions regarding the delayed reopening of its Belvidere Assembly Plant in Illinois. The automaker emphasized that the plant’s reopening is postponed, not canceled, attributing the decision to challenging market conditions and industry-wide adjustments.

 
Cool heads need to prevail. It’s like a macho man contest with no winners. What is needed is an independent negotiator to resolve what might be ugly for both parties with binding arbitration in the end. Stellantis needs to commit to a timeline for a product to be named later and the UAW to a timeline that is flexible and set by the marketplace.
Looks like a very volatile situation if left unresolved much longer. Good luck.
