Union President Lana Payne said no final decision has been made, but Unifor is “seriously considering” setting this year’s collective bargaining pattern with the Dearborn, Mich.-based automaker.
Payne shared the union’s thought processes with reporters in Toronto Aug. 10, shortly after delivering weighty binders of union demands to the automakers and holding brief meetings with top negotiators from each of the Detroit Three. Among other rationales, Payne said the company and union have a “good working relationship,” with Ford providing the most transparency into its plans for Canada in quarterly updates with the union. She said Unifor also has the “clearest picture” of how the retooled Oakville Electric Vehicle Complex will look, which provides the union a “useful baseline with which to negotiate.”
"We have a long history of working collaboratively with Unifor and look forward to creating a blueprint for the Canadian automotive industry that builds a vibrant and sustainable future for our employees, our customers, our Ford business and our communities,” he told Automotive News Canada in an emailed statement.
