Canadian Auto Workers union threatens massive strike
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-investor/caw-threatens-to-strike-detroit-three/article4519948/?cmpid=rss1The Canadian Auto Workers union told its members Tuesday that they need to be prepared to shut down the Canadian operations of all three Detroit auto makers.
“None of the three companies have demonstrated that they are serious about reaching an agreement,” the CAW said in a leaflet distributed to employees that ratchets up the rhetoric in negotiations that began in August. The union has won strike mandates from its members at Chrysler Canada Inc., Ford Motor Co. of Canada Ltd. and General Motors of Canada Ltd.
“The corporations are refusing to add any costs whatsoever – instead they insist on cutting costs from our existing agreements,” the leaflet says.
