After reaching a tentative agreement Saturday with the United Auto Workers union , Chrysler-parent Stellantis is now facing a national labor strike in Canada.
The new strikes in the Canadian province of Ontario affect two assembly plants that produce the Chrysler 300 sedan and Pacifica minivan and Dodge Challenger and Charger muscle cars.Lana Payne celebrates on stage as Unifor, Canada's largest private sector union, announce Lana Payne as their new president to replace outgoing leader Jerry Dias in Toronto, Ontario, Canada August 10, 2022.
The latter vehicles, produced at Stellantis' Brampton Assembly, are specifically notable, as the company is producing the final traditional V-8 models of the Dodge muscle cars ahead of production stopping at year's end.Unifor, which represents 18,000 Canadian workers at the Detroit automakers, took a more traditional approach to its negotiations than its U.S. counterpart.
That traditional patterned-bargaining approach runs counter to the UAW's new strategy of bargaining with all three automakers at once. The UAW has been gradually increasing the strikes since the work stoppages began after the sides failed to reach tentative agreements by Sept 14. The targeted, or "stand-up," strikes are taking place instead of national walkouts.
