Positive news for local feeder plants as Windsor Assembly returns to regular production early
Positive news for local feeder plants as the Windsor Assembly Plant returns to two shifts sooner than expected.
Unifor Local 195 President Emile Nabbout said while there is still anxiety about the future, that this is a win for his members.
In early May it was announced that there would be alternating and fluctuating work schedules at the Windsor Assembly Plant for 12 weeks. It was also announced that the addition of a third shift at Windsor Assembly has been postponed until 2026.
The two shifts weren't set to return to full production until June 30, however, it was announced earlier this week by Unifor Local 444 that they would return to full operation by June 23.
Some workers that Local 195 represents were affected by the fluctuating work schedules, with some week-to-week shutdowns, or only skeleton crews working in the feeder plants during that time period.
Nabbout said reductions to shifts at Windsor Assembly caused reductions to shifts at the feeder plants as well.
'Whether we run a skeleton crew, it depends on each facility, or they reduce the shift operation, or reduce the number of the people. So, each facility is doing their own thing, but the end result is that there is an impact when there is a reduction in shifts.'
He said there is still high levels of anxiety due to tariffs.
'Since November of last year, the concern remains the same, as everybody knows prior to November of last year we were hoping that we'd have Windsor Assembly Plant running three shifts, not two shift operations, and everything changed so quickly. There is a drastic impact on our members, on the community, on everybody.'
Nabbout said they have to take little wins where they can.
'Boost the moral and continue being positive. And we're going to continue working with all stakeholders, from government, to investors, to corporations, to make sure that we are on the right track to preserve all the work here and protect Canadian jobs.'
Local 195 represented approximately 800 members. Unifor Local 444 represents 4,500 workers at the assembly plant and 1,250 workers at area feeder plants.
The Windsor Assembly Plant is home to the Chrysler Pacifica minivan and the all-electric Dodge Charger Daytona.

Indian diaspora sees PM Modi's Canada visit as moment for rebuilding trust
Alberta [Canada], June 15 (ANI): As Prime Minister Narendra Modi embarks on a three-nation tour, culminating in his participation at the G7 Summit hosted in Alberta, Canada, members of the Indian diaspora across Canada and the United States have extended a warm welcome and expressed hope for a renewed chapter in India-Canada relations. The visit comes at a time when bilateral ties between the two nations have been strained in recent years, primarily due to concerns over Canada's perceived leniency towards Khalistani separatist elements. However, PM Modi's invitation by Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is being viewed by many as a significant diplomatic overture and a potential turning point in Indo-Canadian relations. 'We warmly welcome you to Canada and hope that with your arrival, the relations between India and Canada will grow stronger and more prosperous,' said Harjit Singh Sandhu, Vice Chairman of the India Canada Organisation (ICO), Montreal. Echoing a similar sentiment, Harpreet Singh, a Canada-based journalist, noted the importance of the G7 platform. 'The world is passing through a critical phase, and the G7 meeting in Alberta will be a great opportunity for world leaders to brainstorm and find solutions to pressing global challenges,' Singh said. 'Our Prime Minister, Mark Carney, has invited Prime Minister Narendra Modi from India, which is a welcome step. There have been issues between India and Canada in the past few years, and I hope during this meeting, things are sorted out and a new path is chosen where both countries develop and prosper,' said Harpreet Singh. Singh emphasised the importance of strengthening cooperation in trade, technology, and investment, stating that the over one million-strong Indian diaspora in Canada is eager for 'peace, stability, and progress.' In New Jersey, HS Paneser, President of the Global Indian Diaspora Alliance, hailed the visit as a 'pivotal moment to reset and rebuild Indo-Canadian relations.' 'As of June 2025, Prime Minister Modi's participation in the G7 Summit, hosted by Prime Minister Carney, is being widely viewed by the Indian diaspora and global observers as a crucial opportunity to address and improve the recent strain in bilateral ties,' Paneser told ANI. He pointed to a prevailing sentiment of cautious optimism among the diaspora, referring to the G7 invitation as 'an olive branch -- a symbolic and strategic soft restart to the relationship.' Highlighting shared interests in trade, critical minerals, technology, and academic exchange, Paneser said both countries stand to benefit from 'strengthened cooperation and mutual respect.' He also stressed the significance of people-to-people ties, particularly the contributions of Indian students and professionals in Canada. 'The fact that PM Modi has been invited to the G7, despite India not being a member, underscores India's rising global stature as the world's most populous country and fourth-largest economy,' Paneser remarked. 'We see this visit as a pivotal moment to rebuild trust, enhance cooperation, and usher in a more constructive and mutually beneficial phase in Indo-Canadian relations.' Concluding on a hopeful note, he added, 'In the spirit of progress and partnership, we, the members of the Indian diaspora, wholeheartedly welcome this positive move and hope it marks the beginning of better days for both nations.'

Tech Stocks That Could Double by 2030: 2 Easy Choices
Pinpointing stocks that can double in under five years is a key skill for investors, allowing them to beat the market with a safety margin. The market tends to double once every seven years, so if it can double in five, there is some wiggle room to allow for outperformance. However, few stocks have this potential, as growth and valuation must be considered when assessing the company. Furthermore, projecting where a business will be five years out is nearly impossible. Take Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) for example. If you knew exactly where Nvidia would be five years in the future, you would have taken out a loan for the biggest amount possible and bought every share of Nvidia you could, as it turned every $10,000 invested into more than $160,000 over the past five years. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Continue » So, what stocks have the potential to double over the next five years? I've got two solid picks. Nvidia Although Nvidia had a monster run-up over the past five years, I think the next five years are just as bright. While Nvidia's jaw-dropping 200% or greater growth is likely over, it still posts incredible results each quarter. Nvidia's strength can be directly tied to the AI arms race, which involves using Nvidia's graphics processing units (GPUs) to train and run AI models. Most estimates state Nvidia has a data center market share of over 90%, which showcases its dominance. Furthermore, data center buildouts aren't slowing down and are expected to increase over the next few years. This bodes well for Nvidia's future, although it's also doing incredibly well right now. In the company's first quarter of fiscal 2026 (ending April 28), Nvidia's revenue increased 69% year over year to $44 billion. That growth would have been even greater if the U.S. government hadn't imposed export restrictions on Nvidia's H20 chips, but that's water under the bridge. Looking forward, Nvidia still expects 50% growth for Q2, which is impressive considering how rapidly Nvidia has grown over the past few years. Nvidia is still growing and is likely to post revenue growth above the threshold necessary to double within five years (a 15% growth rate is necessary to double in five years). As a result, I think it's an easy pick for a stock that can double in five years. Taiwan Semiconductor Taiwan Semiconductor (NYSE: TSM) is also an easy pick for a company that can double within the next five years. Nearly every major tech company that uses cutting-edge chips in its devices (like Nvidia) gets its chips from TSMC. As a result, Taiwan Semiconductor is very clear about what chip demand holds over the next few years. Management issued guidance at the beginning of 2025 that AI-related revenue would grow at a 45% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the next five years, which helps power overall revenue growth to a near-20% CAGR over that same time frame. That puts TSMC well above the threshold of a 15% CAGR needed to achieve a doubling within five years. As an added bonus, Taiwan Semiconductor isn't all that expensive, trading for 22.9 times forward earnings. NVDA PE Ratio (Forward) data by YCharts That's much cheaper than Nvidia, which has a premium valuation due to its high growth levels. It's also around the same price as the S&P 500, which trades at 22.5 times forward earnings. Taiwan Semiconductor and Nvidia are no-brainer picks for stocks that can double within five years. With how heavily AI-related tailwinds are blowing in these two companies' favor, I'd be shocked if they didn't double, which is why they are two of the largest holdings in my personal portfolio. Should you invest $1,000 in Nvidia right now? Before you buy stock in Nvidia, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the 10 best stocks for investors to buy now… and Nvidia wasn't one of them. The 10 stocks that made the cut could produce monster returns in the coming years. Consider when Netflix made this list on December 17, 2004... if you invested $1,000 at the time of our recommendation, you'd have $653,702!* Or when Nvidia made this list on April 15, 2005... if you invested $1,000 at the time of our recommendation, you'd have $870,207!* Now, it's worth noting Stock Advisor 's total average return is988% — a market-crushing outperformance compared to172%for the S&P 500.
