A national union says it was told by Stellantis this week that it is seriously considering the closure and sale of the Brampton Assembly Plant.
Unifor national president Lana Payne told reporters on Friday that the union “received information” from Stellantis on Wednesday about its possible plans, but Stellantis has not provided the union with formal written notice of closure of the plant as required under its collective agreement.
Payne said the company is required under the terms of the collective agreement to give at least one year’s notice to the union of any such closure or sale. She said the company has indicated its intent to open discussions with another company about the potential sale of the plant.
“To say that we are disappointed would be an understatement,” Payne said. “This is a gut punch to our union and to our members.”
More to come.
