Concerns over global labor practices are growing as companies like Stellantis seek to hire cheaper white-collar workers overseas

Unions are spreading beyond the Big Three and changing the auto industry in America. Thousands of white collar workers have been laid off or taken buyouts in the past few years. The UAW achieved a once unthinkable victory last month when workers at Volkswagen’s Chattanooga plant voted to join the union. That momentum could continue next week as approximately 5,000 employees in Vance, Alabama will vote on whether or not to unionize a Mercedes plant.

While there’s normally some animosity between white and blue collar workers, everyone wants a secure, well-paying job. However, many companies seem more concerned with placating investors and padding the bottom line. This is particularly true at Stellantis as the company doesn’t seem too keen on keeping their North American headquarters and has reportedly focused on hiring cheaper white collar employees.
