We're Fighting For You

TELL STELLANTIS: Keep Your Promise to America — Invest in US, Not Wall Street Paydays

It’s time for Stellantis to honor its promise to America by reinvesting profits into building the American Dream — not into stock buybacks and dividends for the wealthy few.

SIGN PETITION

Tell Congress: Support the Tax Credit for Union-Made Electric Vehicles made in the U.S.

The tax credit of an additional $4,500 for union-made electric vehicles made in the U.S. is a win for UAW members, unorganized autoworkers, and the entire labor movement. The provision:

Supports the high standards in wages, benefits, and safety that UAW members have bargained for in the auto industry
Incentivizes nonunion companies to stop spending millions on union busters and to allow their workers to form their unions freely
Encourages U.S. auto manufacturers to bring back jobs they offshored
