Stellantis shifts Jeep Compass production; Windsor plant had small recent layoffs

Stellantis announced it will move production of the Jeep Compass from its Brampton facility to Illinois, raising concerns about the security of its Canadian plants. Stellantis says it still plans to add a third shift at its Windsor assembly plant to accommodate demand for Chrysler Pacifica and certain Dodge Charger models, and the return to three shifts is expected to bring back about 1,000 jobs. The article notes the Brampton plant has been closed since early 2024 for retooling and that the Brampton facility employs roughly 3,000 workers while Windsor employs about 4,500. It also states that in August the company laid off a "small number" of employees in Windsor but gives no specific headcount. Local union leaders and government officials expressed concern and frustration, citing prior broken promises and the impact of U.S. auto tariffs.

Stellantis cut 3,200 jobs affecting its Automotive assembly (Jeep Compass production at Brampton plant) team as of October 15, 2025.

That is roughly 1.1% of the 295,000 people Stellantis employs.
