So sad to hear this news. Hopefully they get another car for that line. If not I hope the retirement incentives will allow those affected to retire comfortably and enjoy that phase of their life. My 5th gen is one of the best built vehicles I have ever owned and that is directly because of the dedication of the men and women that work in the Oshawa plant. I would not hesitate to purchase any vehicle built there and I wish nothing but the best for those affected.

To the Canadian workers getting the axe: You have only to look to your Union leadership (Formerly the CAW) for selling you down the river! If you had the data available you’d most likely see that most if not all of these 1000+ workers are on the higher end of the pay scale. The union negotiations with manufacturers to reduce labor costs years ago in Detroit has come due and the union has to make good on their promises!
But don’t worry Oshawa you’ll get a new vehicle line to produce after your union enters negotiations again in 2016 but... it’ll be manned by fresh workers off the streets making just over minimum wage still paying union dues and unable to afford the vehicles they’re building! The sad part is, they’ll be grateful to just have a job that doesn’t require them to ask… “For here or to go?” I’ve worked in the auto industry all of my adult life and I know that I’ll never be able to retire from my company the way my parents did and their parents did before them because of Union interference and greed over the years!!! |
