UAW

Bloomberg News reports Rivian and the UAW have a confidential agreement for the company to take a neutral position on efforts to bring union representation to its plant in Normal.

Fresh off winning big raises in new contracts with the Big 3 automakers, the United Auto Workers union on Wednesday announced simultaneous organizing drives at nonunion plants – including Rivian in Normal.

As the United Auto Workers strike continues, another union is making a run at organizing inside Rivian’s electric-vehicle manufacturing plant in Normal. It's the IAM, aka Machinists.

Six years later, there’s increasing pressure to measure Rivian’s record by more than just its headcount. Some former and current workers tell WGLT the plant is a challenging and, at times, unsafe place to work.

Just this month, employees at a battery plant in Ohio voted to join the United Auto Workers (UAW) union – an apparent first for an electric vehicle or battery cell plant not owned entirely by the Big Three legacy automakers. The UAW would very much like Rivian to be next.

With the Rivian plant in Normal adding a second shift, the United Auto Workers has been quietly contacting workers about a possible union-organizing campaign.
