Wheeling and dealing with Ford
Sep 17, 2012 / 10:33 am
The head of the Canadian Auto Workers union says they are very close to reaching a deal with Ford, hours ahead of a strike deadline.
Ken Lewenza says a tentative deal with Ford is nearly finalized, and once it's done the union will take it to Chrysler and GM to see if they will match it.
Contracts at the three big automakers expire at one minute before midnight tonight and the union has previously said it's prepared to strike then if necessary.
The CAW has been focusing its energies on Ford over the past few days, suggesting Ford wasn't dead set against lowering wages for new hires but allowing them to reach full pay over time.
Chrysler responded to the move by saying they were "very concerned" that Ford isn't in the best position to lead negotiations because it has reduced its footprint in Canada in recent years.
