Canadian Toyota plant may be the next facilities to get a "voluntary" local, similar to what the UAW is proposing for Volkswagen's Chattanooga factory.
According to the Windsor Star
Unifor president Jerry Dias said Friday the union may follow the lead of its American counterpart and establish a local for Toyota workers in Cambridge and Woodstock.
"It's a good idea; it's something we may very well do," Dias said of the United Auto Workers' decision to form a new local to be run by hourly workers employed at the Volkswagen assembly plant in Chattanooga, Tenn.
Unifor made a big push to organize the two plants in Ontario, but their plans were disrupted after Unifor put the certification vote on hold due to an alleged discrepancy in the overall number of employees at the two plants, which had the potential to dilute the percentage of pro-union employees.
