Stellantis NV’s latest contract proposal to the United Auto Workers was met with resistance, with the union pushing back on the carmaker’s stance on job security in the electric-vehicle transition and pay parity, according to people familiar with the matter.
The owner of the Jeep and Ram brands made its sixth proposal to the UAW Thursday, which included a “significant product allocation” that “allows for workforce stability” during the life of the contract, Stellantis said in an emailed statement.
