Stellantis Diversity Groups Asked to Cross UAW Picket Line, Stirring Debate

Stellantis asked white-collar workers to cross UAW picket line to work at parts distribution centers to keep shipments flowing during strike.

Stellantis' diversity and inclusion business resource groups specifically called on their members to volunteer on designated days.

UAW views it as the company soliciting "scabs" to do bargaining unit work during the strike.

There's a history of companies using diversity groups to counter labor movements by dividing workers.

UAW says the strike has been effective in uniting workers across gender, race and age differences.
