Ford Reaches Deal With Canadian Autoworkers, Averting A Strike menafn.com - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from menafn.com Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
The agreement is manifestly a sellout, aimed at blocking the development of a united struggle of the more than 19,000 Detroit Three workers in Canada and their 150,000 US counterparts.
The aim of this shabby maneuver was to block a strike at the Ford Oakville Assembly Plant and two smaller engine plants in Windsor, which would have seen Canadian and US autoworkers on strike together for the first time in decades.
Canadian union Unifor and Ford are approaching an 11:59 p.m. ET Tuesday deadline to reach an agreement for about 5,600 autoworkers before a strike could occur.
