Stellantis NV的母公司吉普工会工人投票赞成在必要时采取罢工行动的比例达到97.3%，投票地点为该公司在加拿大的工厂。
Unionized workers at Jeep parent Stellantis NV voted 97.3% in favor of strike action, if necessary, at the company’s Canadian plants.
Stellantis与代表约9000名工厂工会员工的Unifor工会之间的集体协议于9月到期。双方在装甲车制造商Roshel Inc.表示已签署一份备忘录，概述了从Stellantis收购多伦多地区一处闲置工厂的步骤后停止了谈判。Unifor反对该交易。
A collective agreement between Stellantis and Unifor, which represents about 9,000 unionized employees at the factories, expired in September. The two parties stopped negotiating after armored-vehicle maker Roshel Inc. said it had signed a memo that outlines steps toward buying an idled Toronto-area plant from Stellantis. Unifor opposes the transaction.
“Stellantis的Unifor成员了解与公司谈判有多么艰难，并以压倒性多数支持他们的谈判委员会，”Unifor全国主席Lana Payne在一份声明中表示。“我们的成员在达成一项保护加拿大汽车工人就业的公平协议方面意志坚定、团结一致。”该公司位于安大略省布兰普顿的设施自2023年底以来未生产任何车辆。Stellantis在9月告诉工人，他们认为在那里生产车辆“没有长期商业依据”。
“Unifor members at Stellantis understand how difficult negotiations with the company have been and gave an overwhelming mandate to support their bargaining committee,” Unifor National President Lana Payne said in a statement. “Our members are united in their determination to reach a fair agreement with Stellantis that protects jobs for Canadian autoworkers.”The automaker’s facility in Brampton, Ontario, has not produced vehicles since late 2023. Stellantis told workers in September that it sees “no long-term business case” for making vehicles there.
该公司还根据当地工会发布的通知，将其位于安大略省温莎的装配厂的生产暂停三周，直至11月2日那一周。
“Stellantis始终致力于以诚意进行谈判，并准备继续讨论，以达成一项既能承认员工贡献，又能支持我们加拿大业务长期竞争力的协议，”发言人LouAnn Gosselin在一份声明中表示。加拿大政府曾向Stellantis提供数亿美元的财政援助，以换取生产承诺，并在9月谈判陷入僵局后一直鼓励双方重返谈判桌。
The company has also canceled production at its assembly plant in Windsor, Ontario, for three weeks through the week of Nov. 2, according to a notice from the local union posted on“Stellantis remains committed to bargaining in good faith and is prepared to continue discussions toward a negotiated agreement that recognizes the contributions of our employees while supporting the long-term competitiveness of our Canadian operations,” spokesperson LouAnn Gosselin said in an The Canadian government, which has given hundreds of millions of dollars in financial help to Stellantis in return for production promises, had been encouraging the two sides to return to the bargaining table after the September impasse.
“我们的立场很明确：我们将把生产带回布兰普顿。这些是高薪工作，就在安大略省，我们将确保Stellantis遵守对加拿大人的承诺。”工业部长梅拉尼·乔利周五在多伦多的一个活动上表示。
“Our position is clear: we will bring back production to Brampton. These are well-paid jobs, here in Ontario, and we will make certain that Stellantis honors its commitments to Canadians,” Industry Minister Melanie Joly said on Friday at an event in Toronto.
授权罢工投票于10月17日和18日举行。工会目前尚未具备合法罢工的条件。
