Unifor says Stellantis talks at impasse over Brampton plant

The deadlock matters less as a bargaining tactic than as a signal about how Stellantis intends to exit Brampton: a sale to Roshel, a defence-sector buyer, implies the site's automotive future is not the company's priority. That puts Unifor in the position of negotiating over a plant whose ownership is already changing hands, which limits its leverage. The open question is whether the union can extract commitments from a seller rather than an operator, and whether Roshel's plans for the facility ever enter the talks.
