Stellantis workers in Canada began voting on whether to grant Unifor a strike mandate as collective bargaining talks remain stalled.
The Story
Stellantis workers in Canada began a two-day vote today on whether to grant their union a strike mandate, with results to be announced by Unifor on Monday.
Unifor said potential strike action remains its last resort while it continues to hope for a negotiated deal with the company.
The union says it remains at odds with Stellantis following the automaker’s plans to sell its idled Brampton, Ont., assembly plant to defence contractor Roshel.
Stellantis said market and trade conditions have hurt the business case for keeping the plant, while also saying the proposed sale could support future jobs there.
More than 2,000 workers were laid off from the Brampton plant when it halted operations in 2023, after Stellantis moved production of its Jeep Compass from the site to Illinois.
