Canadian Auto Workers union reaches deal with Ford
By Associated Press
TORONTO (AP) - The head of the Canadian Auto Workers says the union has reached a deal with Ford Canada that will see the auto company close one of its Ontario plants employing 1,600 workers, but it will add two new vehicles to its assembly line at another Ontario plant.
Ken Lewenza said Friday that Ford's engine plant near Windsor, Ontario, will also get additional work over the life of the new contract that will expire in 2012. The union has agreed to give the automaker the same concessions it gave the Canadian subsidiaries of General Motors and Chrysler in negotiations earlier this year. Ford Canada employees still need to ratify the agreement. |
