@RitaKarakas Thank you. Sisters supporting sisters. I’m here for this. Much respect.

[Lana Payne 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 @Lanampayne]

@penottawa @Stellantis Thank you Penny. We will continue to fight for our members and this industry.

Unifor National President @Lanampayne provides an update following a four party meeting with Stellantis and the federal and provincial governments about the sale of the Brampton Assembly Plant to Roshel.

[Unifor @UniforTheUnion]

280 Canadian workers face temporary layoffs at Sherritt, including 134 #Unifor members. Workers should not have to pay the price for U.S. sanctions. Ottawa must step up to protect Canadian jobs. #canlab #cdnpoli https://t.co/B8rOXVjj57

Economist Jim Stanford on Stellantis-Roshel deal: "This is the biggest single casualty of Donald Trump's trade war against Canada."

[Unifor @UniforTheUnion]

Today, on #RemembranceDay, Unifor honours those who served and remembers those who never returned home. Working-class families have often been asked to give the most. We stand with veterans, Canadian Armed Forces members and their families.

“ The reality is that Roshel gave Stellantis a way out, and they took it. We need our gov’t to do more, to step up & say there are lots of options. We can stop this sale. We can continue to make sure this is part of the auto footprint in Canada,” @Lanampayne tells @CTV_PowerPlay.

“We felt that there was a path forward. We got into bargaining, and then all of a sudden, we're in a situation where the plant is potentially being sold and now sold to Roshel,” says Unifor President @Lanampayne on the sale of Stellantis’ Brampton plant.

[Lana Payne 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 @Lanampayne]

To set the record straight.

On Nov 4: it was Unifor who requested a meeting of all 4 parties. Not the federal government.

Cc @MSidhuLiberal you must have missed this.

Here is my statement on Stellantis:

[Mackenzie Gray @Gray_Mackenzie]

The sale the Brampton Stellantis plant marks one of the biggest impacts yet of the trade war on Canada, with nearly 3000 jobs likely gone Brampton

Ottawa saying the company still has commitments to the workers after taking federal cash, UNIFOR calls it a betrayal, Stellantis says it will return the plant to productive industrial use and the buyer, Roschel, is promising a Centre of Excellence for advanced manufacturing, that aligns with the Carney governments objectives of increasing domestic military production #cdnpoli

'Betrayed our members': Unifor president reacts to Stellantis sale of assembly plant https://t.co/hlPVCpdwbm

[Lana Payne 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 @Lanampayne]

We have been holding the line.

We are going to keep holding the line.

Solidarity my friends.

[Unifor @UniforTheUnion]

Stellantis’ sale of Brampton Assembly Plant is a betrayal to workers, a blow to Canada’s industrial economy with the loss of thousands of jobs and production capacity, and a failure of our national auto strategy. Watch Unifor’s media conference.

[Unifor @UniforTheUnion]

“Stellantis has betrayed our members with an underhanded deal to sell the plant and walk away from its commitments to these workers. Allowing the sale to move forward is a critical failure of the national auto strategy,” says @Lanampayne on the sale of the Brampton Assembly Plant.

[Lana Payne 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 @Lanampayne]

@JennNaturalGirl @scoopercooper @MarkJCarney @melaniejoly We have been clear about this.

Repeatedly.

🧵1000s of Canadian autoworkers employed by Stellantis are feeling betrayed, angry, frustrated and wondering what happened to all those political promises to save their jobs and key industries during this trade war. /1

[Flavio Volpe, C.M., LLD (Hon.) @FlavioVolpe1]

I won’t do this on a Sunday & spare bad actors a proper news cycle.

A betrayal of commitments to 🇨🇦s, supply chain & all the workers from beginning to end deserves a proper airing.

To those not living up to covenants to those picking the bones, this isn’t the fight you want.

[Lana Payne 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 @Lanampayne]

@CoryMaillett I agree brother. Our members and our union deserve better. People have given a lot of years to this plant and to this company.

[Lana Payne 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 @Lanampayne]

There’s been 14 months of tough talk. But what workers needed was action.

Canada is now staring down the loss of an auto plant – a first under Trump tariffs. It is the worse-case scenario.

And, as always, it’s our union and our members holding the line.

[Lana Payne 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 @Lanampayne]

Keeping the Brampton plant ready to build cars was the only job our governments had. 

Preventing the sale by rezoning the property, and putting conditions on procurement bids, is easy enough.

But it didn’t happen. /12
