Unifor Says Stellantis Moving Jeep Production to Illinois
A union representing autoworkers at Jeep's Brampton assembly plant in Ontario says production is being moved to Illinois.
Unifor, Canada's largest private sector union, stated that the move is part of a $13-billion plan announced by Stellantis to expand U.S. production by 50% over the next four years.
Stellantis cannot be allowed to renege on its commitments to Canadian workers, and governments cannot stand by while our jobs are shifted to the United States.
Lana Payne, Unifor's national president, emphasized that saving the Brampton plant should be Canada's top priority.
