A major labor dispute is on the horizon as Unifor’s contract with Stellantis expired earlier this month, though workers have not yet reached the legal threshold for a strike. The union and automaker remain in negotiations, but tensions are rising as the three-year agreement comes to an end without a renewal. With no immediate strike authorized, both sides are still engaged in talks, though the clock is ticking. The outcome could have significant ripple effects for production and the broader automotive industry.


A strike is looming but not imminent. Unifor’s three-year contract with Stellantis expired Sept. 20 but members are not yet in a legal strike position.
