Unifor Slams Stellantis Move to Illinois as BYD Probes Brampton Plant Future
Unifor criticized Stellantis for moving planned vehicle production to Illinois and said any future plan for the shuttered site must involve union representation. Replacing passenger cars with commercial electric buses or military gear would require major retooling, workforce skill shifts, and regulatory approvals. Stellantis acknowledged potential equipment reuse could help, but the final decision would depend on commercial viability.
