Overview
- Workers at Stellantis’ Poissy plant went on strike to oppose the plan to end car making and recast the site as a parts hub.
- Stellantis says it will stop vehicle production from 2029 and keep 1,000 production posts by 2030 with no layoffs.
- The CGT union says the plant, which employs about 2,000 people, would lose roughly 900 production jobs and see spillovers to suppliers and local services.
- Union leaders announced rolling actions inside the factory and a larger mobilization in June that could bring in other Stellantis sites.
- Public figures led by journalist Natacha Polony launched a petition for a referendum to allow a French preference in public buying, signaling a wider policy push in response.
