“Stellantis and Roshel have signed an agreement for Roshel to acquire the Brampton Assembly Plant. Roshel is a Brampton success story, and I welcome the opportunity for a local company to bring manufacturing back to the site and strengthen Canadian defence production.
The members of Unifor Local 1285 and their families have lived with years of uncertainty. They deserve a fair resolution from Stellantis and a clear path to good-paying jobs. I’m calling on Stellantis to work with Unifor to reach that resolution, and on Roshel to work directly with Local 1285 to identify hiring and training opportunities for laid-off Brampton autoworkers.
Stellantis must repay taxpayers for the public funding it received to support automotive production in Brampton. I will continue pressing the federal government to recover that money and hold Stellantis accountable for the commitments it made to our workers and our city.”
