A major labor dispute is on the horizon as Unifor’s three-year contract with Stellantis officially expired last month, though workers have not yet reached the legal threshold for a strike. While tensions remain high, the union and automaker are still engaged in negotiations, leaving the possibility of a walkout unresolved for now. The uncertainty follows a period of bargaining that has yet to produce a new agreement, raising questions about the next steps for both sides. Employees and industry observers will be watching closely as the clock ticks toward a potential showdown.


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.
