"Union Tensions Rise as UAW Prepares to Authorize Strike at Ram Truck Plant A potential labor standoff is brewing at Stellantis' Ram truck plant in Michigan, where United Auto Workers (UAW) members are set to vote on authorizing a strike.

The strike authorization vote is a significant step towards a potential walkout, which could impact production of the popular Ram 1500 and 2500 models.
