AI analysis

Story summary

Stellantis workers represented by Unifor voted overwhelmingly, with 97% authorization, for a strike mandate on October 16-17, 2026. The union had hoped to avoid a strike but now holds the leverage needed in negotiations after their previous collective agreement expired without reaching terms on September 20, 2026. Talks remain at an impasse largely over Stellantis's plan to sell its Brampton assembly plant to defense contractor Roshel, which led to over 2,000 layoffs in 2023 when operations halted there.
