Unifor says it thinks Stellantis has sold Brampton assembly plant
A union representing Stellantis autoworkers says it thinks the company has sold its idled assembly plant in southern Ontario.
Unifor, the union representing Stellantis workers, believes that the company has sold its dormant Brampton assembly plant in Ontario. On Friday, Unifor met with Stellantis to inquire about reports of the plant's sale, but the company declined to confirm or deny the transaction. Union officials are interpreting Stellantis' refusal to answer as a sign that the Brampton plant has indeed been sold.
Stellantis had previously signed a memorandum of understanding with Roshel, a Brampton-based company that manufactures armored vehicles, for the potential sale of the facility in September. Both Stellantis and Roshel denied any further announcements. The Brampton plant, which laid off more than 2,000 workers in 2023, halted operations that same year.
Recently, Stellantis workers voted to give their union the authority to strike over several contentious issues, including job security and the future of the Brampton plant.
