The official UAW communications conclude: "We want to make sure Stellantis keeps its commitments to invest in America. And we need to be ready to do what it takes. Stellantis has promised investments in all our plants. If it doesn't honor the agreement on Belvidere, why should it do so for any of the other $18 billion in promised investments? We must remain united to hold Stellantis accountable." The automotive group has published an official statement responding to UAW's accusations and stating that they cannot strike for this reason.
