Contract negotiations between a major automotive union and a global vehicle manufacturer have officially begun, with both sides aiming to reach an agreement before the current deal expires. The union has established an internal deadline of September 11 to finalize terms, though the clock is ticking as the existing contract runs out just nine days later. Workers and industry observers will be watching closely to see if discussions can resolve key issues before the deadline forces potential disruptions. The stakes are high, given the tight timeline and the broader implications for production schedules.


Unifor and Stellantis start contract talks on Sept. 1. The union has set Sept. 11 as the internal deadline for a deal. The contract expires Sept. 20.
