Press Release
Issues: Labor Unions
"From my very first meeting, and every one since, the President of UAW, Shawn Fain, made it clear that the future of Belvidere was a critical bargaining issue. He kept his word. Today's announcement creates a path for every Belvidere worker to return and be part of a new EV launch.
I spoke to Governor Pritzker this afternoon. There is a need for federal infrastructure investment on the site and I pledged our delegation's total cooperation in that effort."
