Actually, this would be the CAW, who is seeing job cuts throughout Canada, and are worried about a full-withdrawl from auto manufacturing in Canada.
I'm seeing both sides: On one hand, I don't understand why GM broke the contract. It's very hard for me to see a reason. Only 2 weeks ago, they promised the union that the plant would stay open. Am I expected to believe that they didn't know two weeks ago that truck sales were down?
On the other hand, that fact is truck and SUV sales are down almost 50%!!! There's nothing the UAW could present that would give a good reason for keeping the Oshawa plant open, except by suggesting a different US plant should be shut down in it's place...which would turn this into the CAW v. the UAW; with GM stuck in the middle. Not something that would go over well.
But it's not right to keep blaming these unions for everything. If you want to blame someone, blame the Imports for making the playing field so lop-sided. We were doing fine before they came into the game........
