Globe says Unifor moves from GM to focus on Fiat

2016-09-23 07:57 ET - In the News

The Globe and Mail reports in its Friday, Sept. 23, edition that Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) has been chosen by Unifor as the next company it will negotiate with in contract talks between the union and the Canadian units of the Detroit Three automakers. The Globe's Greg Keenan writes that bargaining with FCA will begin after Unifor members who work at General Motors plants in Canada vote on the tentative agreement with that company that was reached earlier this week. GM employees are slated to vote on Sunday. The key issue in talks with FCA will be the same as it was in the GM talks -- a commitment to new investment at FCA facilities in Canada. Unifor president Jerry Dias said in a statement, "We have one simple message for all the Detroit Three automakers: there will be no deal without commitments to new investments in Canada." In the case of FCA, talks about investment will centre on its large car assembly plant in Brampton, Ont. Unifor wants FCA to replace the paint shop at the factory and commit to a new generation of the Chrysler 300, Dodge Challenger and Dodge Charger sedans now assembled by about 3,300 workers, said Unifor local 1285 president Leon Rideout.
