Talking point: Stellantis announced last year it would produce the Jeep Compass in the U.S., abandoning plans to make it at the Brampton plant that had been shuttered since 2023. Industry Minister Mélanie Joly has warned Stellantis it would have to reopen the facility or repay millions in federal subsidies. In September, Stellantis shared its intention to sell the plant to Roshel—prompting Unifor to suspend collective bargaining talks. “After three years of paid layoff, we remain committed to working with Unifor on a fair resolution,” Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa said Monday in a statement. Joly said the decision by Stellantis “does not erase the commitments they made to workers in Brampton.” She urged everyone back to the negotiating table.
