“It’s definitely a no-go,” Fain said Sunday on CBS’s Face the Nation. “We’ve made that very clear.”
Fain’s comments signal the union and Detroit executives are still far apart. Stellantis’ chief operating officer for North America said Saturday that he was “disappointed” the union rejected what the automaker considers a “compelling offer,” which included a “solution” to protect jobs at an idled Jeep plant in Illinois.
While the shift to EVs threatens to shrink auto employment and lower pay, Fain repeated in the interview that workers shouldn’t have to shoulder an unfair burden. “When we get a good agreement that keeps America strong, keeps our workers strong, then I think that we know who they’re going to support,” she said on the CBS show. “They’re going to support someone that supports the American worker.”
