Unifor reaches tentative agreement with Avancez

Another Windsor-Essex plant that supplies Stellantis' Windsor Assembly Plant has a tentative deal in place.

Unifor Local 444, which represents employees at Avancez, announced on its social media Thursday morning that it had reached a tentative agreement with the company.

Terms of the deal will not be disclosed until a ratification vote takes place. Details on that were expected to be announced later Thursday.

Contract talks have been ongoing with the four so-called "feeder" plants for Windsor Assembly. Deals have already been ratified with ZF-TRW and HBPO.
