Stellantis rejected the UAW's proposal to restore the Jobs Bank concept, which the automaker says contributed to its bankruptcy in 2009.

Stellantis NV said Monday it filed nine federal lawsuits against the United Auto Workers and two dozen union locals late last week it tries to prevent the union from calling a mid-contract strike over its delays reopening an Illinois assembly plant.

Stellantis has escalated its ongoing dispute with the UAW by filing a lawsuit against the union and a local chapter in California.
