Quick Summary

Stellantis workers in Canada started voting on Tuesday whether to give their union permission to call a strike due to ongoing stalled negotiations. Voting will continue through Wednesday, with results expected on Monday. Unifor hopes to avoid a strike and reach a negotiated agreement but remains in disagreement with Stellantis over the automaker’s decision to sell its idle Brampton assembly plant to a defense contractor.

Why this leaning score

The model judged this article politically coded and scored it +0.15, but all 2 of its quote(s) are attributed speech - words the article quotes from someone, not the article's own narration, so the score is not published.

Written under an earlier scoring contract, which gave a paragraph rather than checkable quotes. Re-analysing this article replaces it.
