The United Auto Workers announced Saturday it reached a tentative agreement with Stellantis. Stellantis would add 5,000 jobs after previously wanting to cut 5,000, including rehiring 1,200 workers.

Stellantis said the facility would "continue to be our North American headquarters and North America technical center." It's not guaranteed the facilities would close under a labor deal; however, Stellantis is required to include potential closures or sales of any location where a UAW member works, a company source said. Stellantis North American Chief Operating Officer Mark Stewart, who is overseeing the UAW talks, said the company needs to "modernize" the Mopar facilities. Stewart, without disclosing details of the plan, described the company's proposal for Belvidere as a "very compelling offer." The Mopar facilities that could close include Atlanta PDC; Boston PDC; Centerline Warehouse & Packaging; Chicago PDC; Marysville PDC; Milwaukee PDC; New York PDC; Orlando PDC; Sherwood PDC; and Warren PDC.

NEW YORK (AP) — The United Auto Workers said Saturday it had “reasonably productive conversations” with Ford, as its limited strike against the Big 3 automakers carried into a second day. Stellantis on Saturday also gave details about its most recent offer to the union, which brought its wage proposal roughly in line with its competitors. Now that number is zero, and Stellantis wants to keep playing games.”Nearly 1 in 10 of America’s unionized auto workers went on strike Friday. Automakers have since told some non-striking workers not to report to work, including 600 who were told not to report Friday to a Ford plant. Politicians have been pushing automakers to consider workers who gave up pay and benefits to help their employers during the Great Recession.

New York CNN —About 5,000 General Motors white collar employees have taken buyouts, according to GM CFO Paul Jacobson. The buyouts were offered to all US salaried staff with at least five years at the company and international executives who had worked at GM at least two years. While it was a voluntary program, GM told its staff that “employees are strongly encouraged to consider the program.”“The voluntary program came in in line with our expectations,” Jacobson said. But while GM may avoid a widespread layoff, it did confirm in March that it cut a “few hundred” salaried staff “following our most recent performance calibration.”GM has 81,000 salaried employees worldwide, with 58,000 of those in the United States. GM (GM) is not the only automaker lowering staff numbers in a cost-cutting effort.
