Update from UAW President Shawn Fain About Tavares Resignation

UAW members at Stellantis helped push out horrible CEO Carlos Tavares but the fight isn’t over. Watch President Fain’s video update about the next steps to make Stellantis keep the promise and invest in American workers.

Yes, he is. It was him convincing the UAW to strike in a spiraling down economy and insisting on not closing plants, etcetera. How do you keep jobs and plants opening when no one wants crappy, overpriced Stellantis products during a bad economy? "World class vehicles"? Any of you bright boys at the UAW ever read Consumer Reports or talk to car repair garages about Stellantis products? Apparently not. I know you folks only assemble them, and maybe you do a good job of that. People that want reliable and durable vehicles don't buy Stellantis. The engineering and quality of the parts is not good. Ever notice that you never see many Dodge Darts around, but you still see lots of older Civics, Corollas, and Mazda 3s? I think you folks have been asked too many times to assemble crappy cars.
