Fiat Chrysler Automobiles plans to idle its assembly plant in Windsor, Ontario, for two weeks in the new year, according to the union representing workers there.
Unifor Local 444 said in a tweet Wednesday afternoon that FCA is idling production for the week of Dec. 31 and the week of Jan. 7. The plant was already going to be on regularly scheduled holiday break Dec. 31 and Jan. 1.
Unifor didn’t say why the plant would be idled for the additional eight days and neither the union nor FCA immediately responded to request for comment.
