Unifor National President Jerry Dias will make the announcement at 11 a.m. eastern time in Toronto, as the country's largest private-sector union pushes for commitments that new products will be made at Canadian plants, especially electric vehicles.
The union will target one of Fiat Chrysler, Ford Motor Co. or General Motors Co., and focus on negotiating with that company until its strike deadline on Sept. 21 at 11:59 p.m. The goal is for the union to use the target company's deal as a pattern for agreements with the other two manufacturers on issues such as wages, pensions and benefits.
The talks, which take place every four years, come as Ford employees face expiring product lines in Oakville, Ont., while Fiat Chrysler workers have seen shift cuts in Windsor, Ont. and Brampton, Ont. Unifor says it will target the company that offers the best prospects of job security to workers, and that if no deal is reached, workers have voted to support a potential strike.
Ford staring down an $11B right-sizing over the next couple of years. Stock trading at $7.00/USD. When they close the doors in Canada, thank Jerry and UniforTheUnion
This should cost tax payers millions if not billions! Either in bailouts or moving to Mexico! WTG Jerry!!
Isn't DIAZ in JAIL? He should be! Lock him up!
Smart time for Jerry and thugs to try and get more money as the economy crashes, I wonder why companies move to other countries
Ask Unifor local 222 for Uncle Jerry's results......
$10 says it’s Ford.
Maybe. I doubt it, though.
Great pic of Jerry the thug. The mask seems very appropriate, may appear on the wall at your local post office.
