The Canadian Auto Workers turned up the heat in negotiations with the Detroit Three automakers on Wednesday by saying its members must be ready to strike at all of the companies.
"It is our hope and intention to reach an agreement with at least one of the three companies before the deadline," the CAW said in a leaflet distributed to members. "We must be prepared, though, to shut down operations at all three, should we be unable to reach an agreement."
