Unifor picks Ford Motors as lead company for bargaining in auto contract talks

The union's national president Lana Payne says bargaining with Ford will serve as a blueprint for workers at General Motors and Stellantis, as the union focuses on securing electric vehicle production investments.

She told a news conference in Toronto today that she is encouraged by Ford's transparency with the union in key areas, but warned workers are prepared to strike if necessary. Unifor members at Ford have voted 98.9 per cent in favour of a strike if the bargaining committee fails to secure a new collective agreement.
