Unifor has scheduled a strike vote involving Stellantis for mid-October, increasing pressure in a dispute centred on the future of the Brampton Assembly plant.
The union has described a strike as a last resort, but says it is prepared to fight for the facility’s future. The planned vote does not mean industrial action is certain, but it would mark a significant step in the union’s response.
Assembly plants sit at the centre of complex manufacturing networks, linking workers, suppliers and vehicle production plans. Unifor’s focus on Brampton Assembly underlines the importance it places on securing a longer-term future for the site.
Drivers and vehicle buyers in Montenegro are unlikely to face an immediate direct effect from the vote. However, labour disputes at major automakers can become relevant more broadly when they affect production schedules, model availability or supply chains. The development was first reported by Carscoops.
