100 days on the picket line at Titan Tool & Die

Brampton autoworkers demand Stellantis keep jobs in Canada

Since 1986, Unifor Local 1285 members have built cars and made enormous profits for Stellantis only to see the company break its word. Now Stellantis has broken its collective agreement, walked away from commitments to all levels of government, and moved Jeep Compass production from Brampton to the U.S. Thousands of good jobs at the plant and across the region are at risk. That’s why workers, union leaders, and community allies rallied at the Brampton Assembly Plant to demand that Stellantis keep its promises and keep building in Canada. 

Poll shows vast majority of Canadians back protecting auto jobs in trade negotiations

TORONTO –Canadians overwhelmingly support the protection of Canadian auto jobs and other key industrial sectors, according to a new Pollara survey.

Importantly, 70% feel Canada should not sacrifice the auto sector to get a good trade deal with the US, with that figure rising to 75% in Ontario.
