Unifor to begin talks with General Motors after deal with Ford
In pattern bargaining, a union negotiates with one company to set terms that it hopes to replicate with other companies in the same sector.
Unifor, the union representing over 4,600 workers at Ontario GM facilities, is scheduled to commence contract negotiations with General Motors on Monday. The union had previously secured a new three-year agreement with Ford in July, which included annual pay increases of three percent. This successful negotiation pattern is what led to Unifor's decision to approach General Motors.
The GM operations under Unifor's jurisdiction span across Oshawa assembly plant, CAMI facility in Ingersoll, as well as sites in St. Catharines and Woodstock.
