SIGNIFICANT ECONOMIC IMPROVEMENTS
Our new tentative agreement provides historic economic gains for Salaried Bargaining
Unit (SBU) members through a combination of annual general wage increases, the
reinstatement of the Cost of Living Allowance (COLA), and an up-front ratification
bonus of $5,000.
For the first time in over 20 years, our annual base wage increases in every year
of the UAW Stellantis Collective Bargaining Agreement. Members will receive an
unprecedented 11% wage increase upon ratification of the proposed agreement. The
Company was adamant during bargaining that SBU members wouldn’t receive the
same GWIs as HBU members. But through the resiliency of our bargaining committees,
we received the same strong raises.

Your UAW bargainers were also intent on retaining and growing employment opportunities for
our members. We understood the challenges posed by the transition to electric vehicles (EVs),
and worked to win investments that will secure our future in EV production and benefit members
who continue to make ICE vehicles.
Through these negotiations your bargainers secured $18.9 billion in product commitments and
other investments, surrounding Internal Combustion and Electric Vehicles.

MOPAR Heartburn
The company gave us two choices for MOPAR: to either consolidate facilities and gain jobs, or close
facilities and lose jobs. The choice to consolidate these facilities was difficult, but we came out of it with
the elimination of the lower wage tier at MOPAR, a guarantee of job security, and the right to bargain for an
expanded moving allowance beyond the $37,500 we already won.

BATTERY PLANTS & EVs
The Electric Vehicle transition is a critical moment for autoworkers everywhere. Our job is to
make sure that all auto jobs – EV and ICE – are good jobs, and that this transition does not become
a race to the bottom. With that in mind, your national negotiators secured key agreements
to secure our jobs and make sure new EV jobs maintain our standards and protections. The
Company has committed to a pathway to the battery plants for SBU members in the future.
Doubling Down on EVs in Kokomo
Our UAW members have already made Kokomo the transmission capital of the world. Now we’re
going to become a world-beater in battery production as well. Stellantis has committed to build
two new battery plants in Kokomo. It’s a $6.2 billion investment that the company estimates will
create 2,600 permanent jobs.
A Bright Future for Belvidere | pp. 211-12
Eight months ago, Belvidere was flat on its back. The last worker had just walked out of our plant,
and the company had no plans to reopen it. Now, not only will we have an assembly plant in
Belvidere, we have won a commitment from Stellantis to locate a new battery plant there. Like the
plants in Kokomo, it’s a massive investment – $3.2 billion – that will generate an estimated 1,300
jobs. We proved that when we fight we can win big.

Expanding EV Production in Existing Plants | p. 212


We’re not just winning new battery plants. We’re also bringing EV production into our existing
facilities. We’ll be building battery trays at Dundee Engine and more EV components in other
plants. And because we have the right to strike over plant closures – and also if the company fails
to fulfill product and investment commitments – we have serious leverage to build the EV future in
our existing plants.

JOB SECURITY
Your negotiating team went into this bargaining session laser focused on getting back many of
the things UAW members lost during the downturn. On job security, the goals were not only met,
but exceeded. We have won more rights and benefits for workers facing potential layoffs.
SBU Outsourcing Moratorium | P. 206
The bargaining committee successfully negotiated a “SBU Outsourcing Moratorium” letter into the
SBU agreement. This letter is a duplicate of the HBU Letter 300. The inclusion of this letter gives the
SBU Leadership more ability to prevent and / or challenge any outsourcing actions proposed by the
company.
Dual Source Letter Protecting U.S. Jobs | P. 204
We won a key provision that will keep the Ram 1500 (ICE, BEV and REPB) at SHAP and the Pentastar
Classic and Upgrade at Trenton Engine. If these products are built in a plant outside the United
States, the Company must first decrease production in the non-U.S. plant before SHAP’s or Trenton’s
production is scaled back.

Right to Respect Picket Lines | P. 5


We won the right to support other workers when they’re standing up for their rights. The company
cannot discipline or discharg us for refusing to cross a lawful primary picket line.

NEW Right to Strike Over Plant Closing, Outsourcing Moratorium, and Product & Investment
Commitments | p. 5
Your bargaining team secured the right to strike over any potential plant closing during the
life of the agreement. That gives us unprecedented power to fight plant closures. And we
went one step further. For the first time in our union’s history, your bargaining team was also
able to secure language for the right to strike over the company’s failure to fulfill product and
investment commitments. We have gone from seeing Stellantis’ footprint shrink in the United
States to gaining the leverage to grow our plants and our membership.

Transition Assistance Backstops our SUB Pay Benefits | p. 19
We won 52 weeks of SUB plus 52 weeks of transition assistance for indefinite
layoffs. When a member exhausts their SUB, they aren’t cut off. Instead, they can
continue to receive medical benefits and half of full pay for another 52 weeks. Now
members have a choice when their SUB benefits expire. They can take an up-front
lump-sum or they can take transition assistance and keep their options open.

INCREASED MOVING ALLOWANCES


Moving Allowance Type Old Contract New Contract Increase
Basic Moving Allowance $6,000 $8,000 $2,000
Enhanced Moving Allowance $30,000 $37,500 $7,500
Modified Enhanced Moving Allowance $30,000 $37,500 $7,500

Letter 186 – SBU placement to HBU | p. 165


SBU has had members indefinitely laid off who had previous hourly seniority. However, that
seniority was from a plant that is now closed and they lost all of that seniority. Now they will be
able to exercise options to remain at their current location and be granted their hourly seniority
within the provisions of the PM&P agreement.

Sourcing:
Make Buy Log Purged and Revisions p.208
The Make Buy log has been purged. Prior to negotiation’s the SBU Dealer Claims Analysts,
Designers, Mechanics / Technicians, Mopar Compilers and Mopar Special Investigations were all on
the Make Buy log with the intent to indefinitely lay them off with no intent on ever returning them
to work.

Make Buy Process | p. 208


During the life of this agreement no Make Buy Studies will be conducted within the scope and
content of work normally performed by SBU members.

Layoffs and New Classifications


The Company tried to introduce new classifications under the premise that it needed more
specialized employees. The Bargaining Committee denied this proposal, knowing that it was an
attempt to create classifications for lower seniority employees that could impact higher seniority
employees in times of layoff.

AMEPT- 3D Printer Operations | pp. 176-77


The Bargaining Committee addressed concerns involving the growing use of 3D Printers. Letter
206 has been improved protecting and outlining SBU members’ applications of that technology in
all manufacturing, development and validation locations.

Salary Continuation
During these negotiations, the company proposed to eliminate Salary Continuation for all
traditional SBU members. The Bargaining Committee denied this proposal, and now all traditional
and in-progression members qualify for Salary Continuation regardless of hire date.

pp. 67-94
Your elected negotiators won new training
programs, as well as improvements in
existing programs, to help keep you safe
on the job. Bargainers also maintained
many of our programs and initiatives that
exceed state and federal guidelines.

Keeping Medical Staff on Site | p. 89


We were successful at addressing the medical
staffing issues at manufacturing locations during
production hours. The number needed to staff
medical is now 275 workers, but we also were
able to win the ability for a labor market area
to consider when multiple facilities are working
and none reach the 275 threshold. They can
still schedule one facility’s medical operations
as long as the accumulated number from all
facilities exceeds 275. (M13 Section X(L)(3))

RETIREMENT SECURITY
Retirement insecurity is one of the greatest economic injustices facing our country – and
our membership. We went into this round of negotiations committed to making huge
strides for current and future retirees. We didn’t get everything we wanted, but we got
more than many thought was possible.

CURRENT RETIREES & SURVIVING SPOUSES


We have won the first bonus for current retirees in 17 years. Under this agreement, current retirees
and surviving spouses will receive payments of $500 annually. For decades, surviving spouses
received less than retirees – this contract not only re-established annual bonuses for all retirees but
provided the same amounts for surviving spouses. Eligible if retired prior to October 1, 2023, with
payments in December.
TRADITIONAL EMPLOYEES
For current legacy employees we won a $5 increase to the Life Income Benefit which will result
in an increase of $1,800 a year to future pensioners. We also negotiated enterprise-wide buyout
offerings for our legacy members. The Incentive Plan for Retirement (IPR) will be for $50,000
(gross pretax) for an unlimited number of eligible production and skilled trade members. Packages
will be offered in 2024 and 2026.
IN-PROGRESSION EMPLOYEES
For current In-Progression employees, we won a groundbreaking 10% employer contribution—with
no required employee contribution—to their 401k.

Current Retiree Bonuses Return | PP 198-99
Current Retirees will once again receive a lump sum bonus under the proposed agreement.
Your bargaining team negotiated bonuses for retirees who retired prior to 10-01-2023.
Retirees and surviving spouses will receive a total of five yearly payments of $500 each.
The first payment will be scheduled no later than the end of the first quarter of 2024, and
the remaining payments will be scheduled in December 2024, 2025, 2026, and 2027.

In-Progression Improvements | P 208


Your bargaining team fought to improve retirement security for members who are
eligible for the company contribution and was successful in gaining a significant
improvement in the company contribution for our members who currently have a 6.4
percent company contribution rate. With the new agreement, In-Progression employees
will receive a significant increase in the company contribution rate to 10 percent. This
increase will greatly improve the ability to prepare for a secure retirement.

The Incentive Plan for Retirement | See addendum to HBU White Book
Your UAW bargaining committee was successful in negotiating enterprise-wide buyout
offerings for our legacy members. The Incentive Plan for Retirement (IPR) will be for $50,000
(gross pretax) for an unlimited number of eligible production and skilled
trade members. Packages will be offered in 2024 and 2026.

SOURCING
As our company passed from one corporation to another, the commitment to our workforce
seemed to drop with it. Our plants were closed, our product sent overseas, our work outsourced.
In this contract, we have finally gone from defense to offense. We negotiated powerful tools to
make our membership grow instead of shrink. Here’s some of what we won or strengthened:

• Moratorium on outsourcing of existing core jobs for both ou hourly and salaried bargaining
units. | p. 206
• Right to strike over plant closure and if the company fails to fulfill a product and investment
commitment. | p. 5
- New Product Investment for Belvidere, TMP, Trenton, and plants across the country.| p. 211
- Battery plants built in towns where we already have union strength. | p. 212
- Dual Sourcing Letter added to protect volume of Ram 1500 and Pentastar Engine
production at SHAP and Trenton. | p. 204
- Maintained the Supplier Relations Letters. The company wanted to delete these letters.
- New Technology Language also maintained.

Increase In UAW SPW Leadership In All Manufacturing Locations
Your Bargaining Team was successful in negotiating 16 UAW SPW Lead Positions, one at each
Manufacturing Facility. These individuals will be responsible for coordinating SPW planning
activities and will ensure that SPW is promoting job security for our membership on the shop floor.
Your Negotiating Team recognized the need to strengthen communication in each of our facilities.
They were successful in securing language to align the UAW Continuous Improvement Lead to
officially serve as the UAW Communications Lead at each manufacturing location.

Tuition Assistance
Program
A major objective of our Tuition Assistance Program is to prepare
workers and our families for the jobs of the 21st century. Your UAW
negotiators won some significant improvements that will help us meet
the challenges ahead.

Tuition Assistance Increased P. 66


To meet the rising costs of education at universities
and colleges, this tentative agreement has enhanced
the tuition assistance substantially for active and
supplemental members, and the dependent children of
all UAW Stellantis members. An increase of $3,000 was
gained for Tuition Assistance and the book reimbursement
for degree-related books was increased by $800.

Scholarship for Dependent Children (SFDC) Improved P 102


New to the agreement, supplemental members are now
eligible to use the SFDC benefit, and the overall benefit
increased from $1,500 to $1,600. Also, if both parents are
active FCA employees, they will be eligible for the benefit
up to $3,200 per eligible dependent provided out-of-pocket
expenses are substantiated. Additional gains include high
school dependents that are dual enrolled in post-secondary
degree programs are now eligible to receive the benefit,
the grade requirement was enhanced to passing grades
and the application process was improved to allow SFDC
applications to be submitted after the end of the semester.

Finally, the joint administration of the Tuition Assistance


Program and Scholarship for Dependent Children program
was regained. In addition, a standardized documented appeal
process will be implemented for the TAP & SFDC programs.
