LONDON—More than 150 auto parts workers at Sodecia Automotive hot stamping facilities in London, Ontario voted to join Unifor last month after a year-long union drive.
“Auto parts workers understand that joining Unifor means driving higher standards of living for workers across the industry,” said Lana Payne, Unifor National President. “Momentum is growing across the sector to join our union as workers look to secure a better future for themselves, their families and their communities.”
The Unifor Local 100 and Council 4000 Bargaining Committees have achieved tentative collective agreements with CN Rail, averting strike action.
Following a round of deadline bargaining, the tentative agreements were reached the afternoon of March 20.
Details of the tentative agreements will be provided during a series of ratification meetings, which will be held at locations across the country in the coming days. Information on the ratification meetings will be communicated once details are finalized.
