Bains says in a statement he is "very disappointed" by the news and is committed to fighting for their jobs.
Unifor Local 444 president Dave Cassidy said Thursday that the union would need all levels of government support going forward.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford said in a statement that the provincial government will "fight tooth and nail" to protect auto worker jobs in Windsor.
FCA said it was cutting the shift at the minivan plant to better align production with global demand.
