Fort Wayne GM plant

UAW Local 2209 leaders at the General Motors Fort Wayne Assembly plant claim the company violated its contract with the United Auto Workers.

UAW Local 2209, which represents workers at the largest GM plant in Indiana, did not strike Friday after not receiving authority to do so from the national union.

After failed negotiations led to the lay off of 253 part-time workers, UAW Local 2209 is threatening to strike at GM's Fort Wayne Assembly plant.

After a disagreement with the United Auto Workers Union, General Motors is set to lay off 253 part time workers from its Fort Wayne Assembly plant on Monday.

The US Department of Energy recognized Indiana's largest GM plant for its efforts to reduce emissions and become more energy efficient.

After passing by less than 4,000 votes, UAW members may appeal the GM agreement ratification vote result.

The United Auto Workers union added 7,000 members to its strike, but again, the leadership did not include any Indiana locations

A part shortage caused the General Motors Fort Wayne Assembly plant to shut down production this week. The plan was to reopen this coming Tuesday, but officials announced production will remain dormant all of next week as well.

When production stops next week at GM Assembly Fort Wayne, production workers there will need to file for unemployment to get paid.

Workers at Assembly Fort Wayne can expect an extended Labor Day weekend as the plant announced it will shut down production the week before labor day to catch up on a part shortage.
