Unifor Urges Government to Prevent Sale of Stellantis' Brampton, Ont., Plant
Unifor says a sale to Roshel would end vehicle production and put more than 2,000 Brampton workers at risk, while Ottawa reviews Stellantis commitments.
- On Wednesday, Unifor National President Lana Payne urged the federal government to block Stellantis from selling its idled Brampton, Ont., plant to Roshel, warning the move would abandon vehicle production and cost over 2,000 jobs.
- Stellantis idled the Brampton facility in 2023 after pausing Jeep Compass production plans, despite receiving a $15-billion performance incentive from Ottawa and Ontario tied to production mandates.
- In a letter to Industry Minister Joly, Payne argued it is "incumbent on the federal government to do everything possible to prevent this outcome," questioning whether the MOU breached prior commitments.
- Industry Minister Joly stated Wednesday the government is pressuring Stellantis to bring a new model to the plant, warning, "If they don't, we'll get our money back."
- Contract negotiations between the automaker and Unifor remain at an impasse as the current collective agreement expires Sept. 20, adding urgency to the dispute over the Roshel MOU.
