About 100 workers at that warehouse walked off the job on Friday, along with another 100 employees at a Stellantis facility in Naperville, as the United Auto Workers expanded their strike to 38 GM and Stellantis parts and distribution centers.
Those workers were set to return to the picket lines on Monday, and Durbin planned to join them in their calls for better wages and benefits, and safer working conditions.
