(WXYZ) — The United Auto Workers union detailed its tentative agreement with Stellantis Thursday night after the national council voted to send it to general membership.
According to the UAW, the union gained four times the value than in 2019.
UAW President Shawn Fain and Vice President Rich Boyer outlined the tentative agreement with members on Facebook Live.
"Another pot sweetener is that all UAW members will receive a $5,000 ratification bonus," Fain said.
The UAW said in the new agreement, wages increase by 25%. The union said contacts between 2001 and 2022 increased wages by up to 23%.
"A divided union is a weak union. That is why we fought so hard on these issues that unite us such as increasing wages. In this contract, we won record-breaking 25% pay increases. That's more than all the wage increases our union won over the last 22 years combined," Boyer said. "For the first time in Stellantis history, we have won matching general wage increases for our salary bargaining unit."
Some full-time temporary employees will get a 168% raise through the end of the contract. Some workers with Mopar, a Stellantis parts distributor, will get a raise up to 76% immediately.
"For decades, members at MOPAR had worked at significantly lower wages to the production workers. That comes to an end in this contract," Boyer said.
The starting wage will increase by about 67% and the top wage will increase by about 33%.
The UAW touted winning back the cost-of-living allowance (COLA) since 2009, three-year wage progression returning and killing wage tiers.
"This will ensure that all of our wages will keep up with inflation," Boyer said.
The next steps in the ratification process include regional meetings to walk through the agreement with local leaders and locals holding meetings to review the agreement before a ratification vote.
