Production at three Stellantis assembly plants in Europe has been stopped for several days due to a strike at a plant run by contractor MA France.
"Three sites have seen a production halt since the start of the week," a Stellantis spokesperson said on Thursday.
Two of the plants are in France at Poissy and Hordain, and the third is in Luton, England.
MA France, a division of Italian group CLN, specializes in stamped metal components.
MA France produces components on a site in the northeastern suburbs of Paris previously used by PSA until the PSA plant was shut in 2014. PSA has since become Stellantis through its merger with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles.
Workers at the plant are worried about plans to move production to Poland, said Brahim Aitathmane, head of the Force Ouvriere union at Stellantis.
Stellantis is hoping that discussions underway at the factory will allow it to resume production soon, the Stellantis spokesperson said.
