Stellantis signs MOU on Brampton, Ont., plant as talks with union break down

Stellantis has signed a memorandum of understanding with Canadian armoured vehicle maker Roshel regarding the potential sale of its Brampton, Ontario assembly plant. The Brampton plant, which has been idled since 2023, was set to be retooled for Jeep production before the company suspended the plan in early 2025. The union representing Canadian workers at Stellantis, Unifor, has paused contract talks with the automaker, citing an impasse over the future of the Brampton plant.

Unifor spokesperson Kathleen O’Keefe emphasized that the proposed facility closure and sale threaten the wages, pensions, and other benefits of Unifor members, and would deal a blow to Canada's industrial sector.
