@Lanampayne “We expect an agreement that protects jobs, as well as Ford’s commitment to auto manufacturing in Canada and delivers real, meaningful improvements for the workers who have made this industry successful for more than a century,” says @Lanampayne.
“There is no doubt we face an unprecedented set of challenges as we embark on these auto negotiations. I want to put something clearly on the record: we are here to make progress for our members,” says @Lanampayne on start of negotiations with Ford.
“We believe negotiating with Ford is the best option to reach an agreement to be carried across the Detroit Three,” says Unifor Ford Master Bargaining Chair John D’Agnolo. “Our goal is to reach a deal that raises conditions across the auto industry, while protecting good jobs.” 🧵
