Unifor says it received 'a substantive offer from the employer minutes before the [strike] deadline' Monday.
A tentative agreement between Unifor and Ford Motor Co. of Canada remained elusive Monday evening, but the union extended its strike deadline for a 24-hour period as the two sides planned to negotiate through the night after the automaker made what was called a"substantive offer."
President Lana Payne told members late Monday night, prior to the recent offer, that the likelihood of a strike was a"strong possibility." Ford builds engines for its F-Series pickups and several other vehicles in Windsor, while its Oakville assembly plant builds the Ford Edge and Lincoln Nautilus. Local 707, which represents workers at Ford’s Oakville Assembly Complex, located southwest of Toronto, shared picketing instructions with members.
Strikes by UAW members at three Detroit Three plants in the United States entered their fourth day Monday. Unifor sent a letter of support to its counterpart union Sept. 15, saying it stands in solidarity with the UAW as it fights for a fair collective agreement.
