A shuttered Illinois Jeep assembly plant will be at the center of a power struggle between the United Auto Workers union and Detroit's automakers as the manufacturers double down on cutting costs to fund an accelerated transition to electric vehicles. When the Stellantis factory in the northern Illinois town of Belvidere was idled in February, it left union members in shock as they had not expected the shutdown until June. "They wanted to reduce us even more which seemed like an impossible feat," Matt Frantzen, the local union president in Belvidere, said of the decision following a prior elimination of two work shifts at the factory.
