CAW Approves Strike Mandate As Talks Resume Today

Members of the Canadian Auto Workers union have voted overwhelmingly in favor of a strike mandate as talks between the union and the Big Three resumed today.

Workers at Chrysler, General Motors and Ford were 99, 98 and 97 percent in favor of striking respectively. The CAW hasn't gone on strike since 1996, but President Ken Lewenza's stated promise of no further worker concessions, along with a strong desire to cut costs by the auto makers, will inevitably lead to tough negotiations.
