三年来,谢莉·刘易斯一直试图增加餐厅的客流量,自2023年安大略省布兰普顿的Stellantis汽车工厂关闭以来,客流量锐减。
For three years, Shelly Lewis has been trying to increase foot traffic at her restaurant after it dwindled following the 2023 closure of the Stellantis auto plant in Brampton, Ont.
位于克莱斯勒大道的谢莉厨房是许多依赖数千名Stellantis员工生意的餐饮店之一,刘易斯说,她不得不裁掉一名员工,并承认有些月份难以支付账单。
Shelly's Kitchen on Chrysler Drive is among the many food shops that relied on business from thousands of Stellantis workers, but Lewis said she's had to lay off a staff member and admits she has struggled to pay bills some months.
“Stellantis工厂为我带来了生意,因为我有员工在各个时段光顾,而且我有很多特价菜,”她说。“我很难过他们停止了运营。”不过,她现在抱有希望,即有关汽车制造商预计将有新买家的消息将为她的餐馆带来更多顾客,并使该地区重获生机。
"The Stellantis plant made business for me because I had staff at all hours come in and I had lots of specials," she said. "I'm so sad that they shut down operations." Now, however, she's hopeful that news the automater is expected to have a new owner will result in more customers at her eatery and rejuvenate the area.
周一,加拿大装甲车制造商Roshel Inc.宣布,将以未披露的金额从Stellantis手中收购该汽车工厂,获得这座闲置的设施和设备。
On Monday, it was announced that Canadian armoured vehicle maker Roshel Inc. will buy the auto plant, acquiring the idled facility and equipment from Stellantis for an undisclosed amount.
Roshel以未披露金额收购布兰普顿Stellantis装配厂,汽车制造商表示。这似乎是个好消息,因为2023年运营停止以便为吉普车生产改造工厂时,超过2000名员工被裁员,该计划于2025年初暂停。
Roshel to buy Stellantis assembly plant in Brampton for undisclosed amount, automaker says That appears to be positive news, as more than 2,000 workers were laid off when operations were halted in in 2023 to retool the plant for Jeep production, a plan that was paused in early 2025.
但被裁员工之一、自工厂关闭以来一直处于悬而未决状态的巴尔特杰·巴杰瓦,对自己的未来仍感到不确定,并表示听到出售消息时感到震惊。
But Baltej Bajwa, one of the laid-off workers who's been left in limbo since the plant's closure, remains uncertain of his future and said he was shocked to hear about the sale.
“我们听到消息时可能抱有的任何重返工作岗位的希望,都就这样被打破了,”巴杰瓦说。
"Any hope that we had of potentially coming back when we heard the news kind of just got shattered," Bajwa said.
皮尔逊机场如何计划雇佣被裁的Stellantis员工。Roshel Inc.首席执行官罗曼·西莫诺夫确实表示,该公司计划雇佣数千人,并将优先雇佣在布兰普顿失业的工人。
How Pearson airport plans to fill jobs with laid-off Stellantis workers Roshel Inc. CEO Roman Shimonov did say the company plans to employ thousands of people and will give first priority to the workers who lost their job in Brampton.

然而,巴杰瓦表示,Roshel的产能将远低于2200名Stellantis员工每天生产的400至800辆汽车。
However, Bajwa said, Roshel's production capacity will be far fewer than the 400 to 800 vehicles that the 2,200 Stellantis workers produced daily.
“是的,Roshel给我们提供这些工作机会,这很了不起,但这仍然让工厂的另一半处于一片混乱之中,我们不知道自己将去向何处。” 市长表示,Roshel不能“拔腿就跑”。Roshel收购该工厂一事遭到工会领袖和政客的严厉批评。加拿大总理马克·卡尼称这是对所有加拿大人的“背叛”。
"So yes, it's amazing that Roshel is giving us those job opportunities, but it still does kind of leave the other half of the plant in a state of disarray where we don't know where we're going to go." 'They can't cut and run,' mayor says Roshel's purchase of the plant has garnered harsh words from union leaders and politicians. Prime Minister Mark Carney called it a "betrayal" to all Canadians.
Unifor全国主席拉娜·佩恩周一表示,这次出售对工会及其成员来说是“不可接受的结果”,她称这是“最坏的情况”。
Lana Payne, national president of Unifor, said Monday that the sale is an "unacceptable outcome" for the union and its members, calling it the "worst-case scenario."
卡尼表示,布兰普顿斯泰兰蒂斯汽车工厂关闭是对所有加拿大人的“背叛”。布兰普顿市长帕特里克·布朗也表达了同样的看法。他表示,斯泰兰蒂斯多年来从各级政府获得了“救助”,最近一次是在2022年,“以在加拿大生产为条件”。“布兰普顿居民有理由愤怒。我认为加拿大人应该愤怒,”他周二对加拿大广播公司新闻表示。“这是一家几十年来依赖加拿大纳税人慷慨解囊的公司。他们不能拔腿就跑而不承担后果。
Stellantis auto plant closure in Brampton a 'betrayal' to all Canadians, Carney says Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown echoed those sentiments. He said Stellantis has received "bailouts" from various levels of government over the years, including most recently in 2022, "on the basis of production in Canada." "Brampton residents are rightfully angry. I think Canadians should be angry," he told CBC News on Tuesday. "This is a company that has depended on Canadian taxpayer generosity for decades. They can't cut and run without consequences.
“斯泰兰蒂斯抛弃了加拿大工人——他们受到了特朗普政府的欺凌。如果我们允许斯泰兰蒂斯轻易离开,并忽视其法律义务,这不会是加拿大倒下的最后一家汽车工厂。事实上,这里是保护汽车工作岗位的零点。”在一份声明中,斯泰兰蒂斯表示将自愿偿还补贴。
"Stellantis has abandoned Canadian workers — they got bullied by the Trump administration. If we allow Stellantis to leave easily and ignore their legal obligations, this will not be the last auto plant that falls in Canada. Really, this is ground zero of protecting auto jobs." In a statement, Stellantis said it would voluntarily repay the subsidies.
收购将推动经济活动:商会 布朗表示,他认为Roshel是一家优秀的本地公司,有创造数千个工作岗位的雄心,但不认为它应该收购斯泰兰蒂斯。
Purchase will drive up economic activity: Board of Trade Brown said he thinks Roshel is a great local company that has ambitions to create thousands of jobs, but doesn't believe it should have purchased Stellantis.
然而,布兰普顿商会首席执行官贾伊保尔·马西-辛格认为,这将对该市和当地经济有利。
However, Jaipaul Massey-Singh, CEO of the Brampton Board of Trade, believes this will be a boon to the city and the local economy.
他说,Stellantis关闭工厂的影响不仅波及员工,还影响到他们的家人以及他们曾经支持的当地企业。他听到许多商店表示,已经裁员、失去订单,并缩短营业时间以维持运营。
He said the impact of Stellantis's closure goes beyond just workers, affecting their families and the local businesses they were supporting. He has heard from many shops that have laid off staff, lost orders and reduced their hours to stay afloat.
“得知这将使该工厂重新投入运营,为将在那里工作的人创造就业,同时也为整个社区带来额外的就业和经济活动,这绝对是受欢迎的消息,”Massey-Singh谈到这次出售时说。
"Knowing that it's going to result in activity in that plant once more, creating employment for those who are going to be there but also additional employment and economic activity for the community in general, is absolutely welcome news," Massey-Singh said about the sale.

“每受影响的员工,该社区就有五到六名额外员工或工人受到影响。所以在像Brampton这样的地方,我们说的是至少12,000到15,000人受到Stellantis决定撤离的影响。”Massey-Singh希望每一名被解雇的Stellantis员工都能重新上岗,并相信在新所有权下重新开放工厂,将通过新员工、再培训和额外资源,推动更多投资和商业活动。
"For every employee that's affected, it's up to, five to six additional employees or workers in that community that are impacted. So in a place like Brampton, we're talking minimum [12,000] to 15,000 individuals who were impacted by Stellantis's decision to walk away." Massey-Singh hopes every laid-off Stellantis employee gets their jobs back, and believes reopening the plant under new ownership will drive more investment and business in the form of new workers, retraining and additional resources.
Lewis仍然乐观地认为,Roshel加入社区将有助于提升她餐馆和其他当地商家的生意。
Lewis remains optimistic that Roshel joining the community will help boost business for her restaurant and other local establishments.
“我很高兴那里又会有别的东西,因为他们会再次雇佣人在那里工作,这个广场里有很多不同的商家,所以我知道这对每个人都会更好。”
"I'm happy that something else will be there again because they'll have people working there again and this plaza has lots of different businesses, so I know it's going to be better for everybody."
