UAW Local 2209 Workers at GM Plant Authorize Strike10/31/2024A majority of workers with UAW Local 2209 at the Fort Wayne General Motors Assembly Plant voted to authorize a strike yesterday. The vote came after Local 2209 Chairman Rich LeTourneau said that GM was violating its contract with some managers at the GM Plant having to work union jobs. In response, GM said that it’s abiding by the provisions in its agreement with the UAW. A strike approval does not mean that a strike is going to happen, but LeTourneau says he hopes it’ll lead to talks with GM.
