Unifor vs Stellantis Amid Plant Closure Threat | Vancouver News

Unifor is set to strike a major blow for Canadian auto workers as contract talks begin with Stellantis — the final giant in the sector after deals with Ford and GM were already sealed. With current agreements expiring September 20, pressure mounts as Stellantis teeters on closing its Brampton plant, once slated for Jeep production but now abandoned in favor of U.S. manufacturing. Compounding the tension: looming U.S. tariffs — currently at 25% on non-U.S.-built vehicles — and Trump’s threat to hike them to 50% starting January 1. Unifor’s strategy? Use one company’s deal as leverage across the board — all while navigating a volatile trade landscape that could reshape Canada’s auto future.
