UNIFOR REP AT OAKVILLE FORD PLANT SAYS NO TO TEMPLATE OF GM DEAL
A union local at Ford Motor Co.'s Oakville, Ont., assembly plant says it is not willing to accept the same deal its national parent, Unifor, recently negotiated with GM Canada."We as a local bargaining committee have sent a very clear message to Ford Motor Company and the national union that the framework agreement between GM and the membership will not suit the needs of the membership in Oakville," Local 707 president Dave Thomas said in a message on the group's website.
