Stellantis workers in Canada begin voting on whether to authorize a strike as collective bargaining talks with the automaker remain stalled, according to multiple outlets. The vote is set to take place over the weekend, with reporting indicating that the process starts today.
The negotiations are described as at an impasse, with the union Unifor citing concerns related to job security and the future of Stellantis’s Brampton, Ontario plant. Outlets characterize the situation as ongoing and unresolved, with no agreement reached before the vote begins. Coverage focuses on the immediate next step for workers—whether to empower the union to call for strike action—while negotiations continue without progress.
Across the reports, the core common elements are the timing of the strike-mandate vote, the claim that bargaining is not advancing, and the union’s emphasis on job and plant-related issues tied to the bargaining process. None of the sources indicate that a strike has started yet.
