A high-profile spat between the United Auto Workers and Stellantis over reopening an Illinois factory complex has made its way into the race for U.S. president and could bring a strike against the automaker.

DETROIT The United Automobile Workers is preparing for an important negotiation. US Attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan, Matthew Schneider, has agreed to talk with UAW President Rory Gamble about changes that can be made pertaining to corruption. In a joint statement released Monday Schneider said, "I look forward to working with president Gamble to achieve what I hope will be a joint effort to resolve some of the serious issues. One of the concerns is the disposition of a cabin at the UAWs Black Lake property built for former president Dennis Williams. RELATED: Ex-UAW President Gary Jones pleads guilty in corruption case

DETROIT – Ruben Burks, the first African American International UAW Secretary-Treasurer, died Monday. Burks also helped the Flint community. In December 2017, Local 598 renamed its union hall Ruben Burks Hall to honor his decades of leadership. “Ruben Burks will always be here in spirit,” said UAW Region 1D Director Steve Dawes. He was full of wisdom and never stopped fighting for active and retired UAW members and all working people.”

DETROIT – The 2019 UAW national contract with FCA is almost complete, sources tell Local 4. Local 4 Business Editor Rod Meloni has the latest update on contract discussions between Fiat Chrysler and the United Automobile Workers. The signing bonus for UAW-FCA line workers is expected to be $9,000, the same as at Ford. Unlike the Ford and GM contracts, FCA has agreed not to close any assembly or component plants that haven’t already been announced. In the end, union officials view what they’ve been able to cobble together at FCA a “pattern-plus” contract.

DETROIT Members of the United Automobile Workers union approved the tentative contract with Ford on Friday. According to the union, 56.3 percent of members voted in favor of the agreement. Ford workers will get $9,000 each, but Ford will close a factory in the deal, a person briefed on the pact said earlier this month. Every Ford employee and temporary employee will be at the top-rate for full-time status at the end of this four-year agreement, said Acting UAW President Rory Gamble, who is Director of the UAW Ford Department. This is a life changing contract for many and provides a template for all future Ford UAW members to a full-time, top-rate status.

The UAW Board of Directors approved President Gary Jones leave of absence earlier this month. Now, Local 4 has learned, some board members are looking to make it a permanent leave for Jones and his indicted right-hand man, Vance Pearson, from the union. Looking at the UAW constitution, the board members intend to use whats referred to as Article 30. When their homes were raided, Jones and Pearson both sat on the UAW executive board. The rarely used mechanism requires five board members to agree to sign a charging document and send it to the UAW secretary treasurer.

DETROIT As the United Automobile Workers deal with an embezzlement scandal sending more officers to prison and negotiate national contracts, Rory Gamble has taken over as the new president. Local 4 Business Editor Rod Meloni got an exclusive first interview with Gamble to hear what he had to say about the problems facing the union and his plans to solve them. In July, Gamble walked into the UAW Ford handshake ceremony next to then-president Jones as the UAW Ford vice president. On Tuesday, he separated Jones from the 10 UAW leaders who have been sent to prison because Jones hasnt been charged. Gamble told Local 4 he took the presidents job under a condition that the UAW board allow him to make the necessary tough accounting and financial control changes he deems necessary.

We have UAW members who work long, hard hours and are still on public assistance, said Gerald Kariem, Director of UAW Region 1D. "Every day, UAW members go to work and keep these plants profitable, said UAW Region 1 Director Frank Stuglin.

The UAW strike on GM is dragging on far longer than either side expected. While the rank and file walk the picket line, they're missing paychecks. They said the $250 per week strike pay covers very little. Run that across roughly 18,000 GM-UAW Michigan line workers and it adds up quickly. He fears if the strike goes on much longer, GM won't be able to make production, losing sales and causing a one-state recession.

DETROIT - Workers have been on the picket line for 17 days, and it's still unknown when the United Automobile Workers (UAW) union's strike against General Motors will end. On Sept. 17, GM had announced it moved all striking UAW union members to COBRA health insurance coverage. Overall, union workers have shut down 33 manufacturing plants in nine states and 22 parts distribution warehouses. About 850 union workers went on strike against Armark the day before the UAW-GM strike started. "Every day, UAW members go to work and keep these plants profitable," said UAW Region 1 Director Frank Stuglin.

As day 13 came to a close, striking UAW workers are now two days away from getting $250 a week in strike pay. Bates is one of nearly 50,000 workers currently on strike. Talks between GM and the UAW have extended later into the evening and some believe that may be a sign of progress. Qualifying for strike pay may be another factor putting pressure on both sides to reach a deal. Bates said he has worked at GM for nearly 40 years.

DETROIT - There's a glimmer of hope that the United Automobile Workers could be inching closer to a tentative deal with General Motors. In the meantime, there are new questions about what will happen when a tentative deal is eventually reached. Wednesday is the 10th day of picketing for workers, and strike captain Shawn Eaton, of UAW Local 652, is bracing for a long haul. As with past practice, when the two sides reach a deal, the union will announce a tentative agreement. First come educational meetings at local union halls where the deal is explained.

As the UAW-GM strike enters its second week with no agreement reached, some are wondering how the future of electric vehicles may affect auto jobs. Leaders of the United Auto Workers union decided to initiate the strike Sunday, Sept. 15 as contract negotiations went beyond a weekend deadline. Fewer parts go into making electric vehicles, which means fewer workers in factories. Electric vehicle sales arent expected to hit 50% of the market until at least 2049, according to forecasting firm LMC Automotive. The company has two electric vehicles, and SUV and pickup truck, set for release in 2021.

DETROIT - Some United Automobile Workers are planning to protest during the Labor Day parade in Detroit. The protests are a response to the recent FBI raid on UAW president Gary Jones' home in Canton Township.
