The Aporia · Strike action on the table if Stellantis sticks to plan to sell Brampton plant: union

Unifor, representing over 9,000 Stellantis workers in Canada, warns of potential strike action if the company proceeds with plans to sell its idle Brampton assembly plant to a defence contractor. Talks broke down after Stellantis signed an agreement to potentially sell the facility last Friday. The union seeks better job conditions than what Roshel offers and has written to Industry Minister Mélanie Joly, urging the government to intervene and prevent the sale.

Story summary

Unifor, representing over 9,000 Stellantis workers in Canada, is pressuring the federal government and Stellantis to prevent the sale of the Brampton assembly plant to Roshel. The union fears that if the sale proceeds, it will leave more than 2,000 employees without jobs and harm local suppliers. Unifor national president Lana Payne wrote a letter to Industry Minister Mélanie Joly on Wednesday urging intervention. The plant has been idle since 2023, initially intended for retooling to produce Jeep Compass vehicles but later halted when Stellantis moved production to the U.S. Bargaining talks between Unifor and Stellantis broke down last Friday due to disagreements over the Brampton facility's future. Payne warned of a potential strike if a new collective agreement is not reached by Sunday night, as she believes there is "no substitute" for automotive jobs in Brampton.
