Windsor Assembly returning to regular production ahead of schedule

Two shift production is set to return to Windsor Assembly sooner than expected, according to the union representing workers at the Stellantis plant.

On Wednesday, Unifor Local 444 updated its members through its social media pages full two shift operation would return on June 23.

The automaker had put the workforce on alternating layoffs, in part, pointing to the economic uncertainty created by new U.S. tariffs brought in by the White House.

All workers weren’t set to return to full production until June 30, according to a union schedule.

In an email to CTV News, a company spokesperson confirmed the change was tied production targets for the remainder of this year and preparations for the next.

“These modifications are necessary as we complete the 2025 model year build and to prepare for the launch of the 2026 model year Chrysler Pacifica, Chrysler Voyager/Grand Caravan and Dodge Charger,” wrote LouAnn Gosselin, the head of Stellantis Communications in Canada.

Gosselin went on to say the company will continue to monitor the situation.
