President Biden is celebrating the tentative agreement between UAW and Stellantis and the planned reopening of the Belvidere assembly plant. Speaking to a crowd of union autoworkers yesterday in Belvidere, the president said getting Stellantis to reopen and reinvest in the Belvidere plant was a priority for him and the UAW. The Belvidere Assembly Plant has remained idle since February. The tentative agreement also includes a plan to build a new EV battery plant and support electric truck manufacturing at existing facilities and the employment of three-thousand auto workers with higher wages and expanded benefits.
