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 is set to commence contract negotiations with General Motors on Monday, reports Global News. The union represents over 4,600 members at Ontario GM facilities, encompassing the Oshawa assembly plant, the CAMI facility in Ingersoll, and operations in St. Catharines and Woodstock. In July, Unifor had identified General Motors as their next target for U.S. automaker contract talks.
Earlier that month, Unifor members authorized a new three-year agreement with Ford, which included a three percent annual pay increase. Unifor claims this agreement with Ford demonstrated a successful pattern-setting negotiation approach. Pattern bargaining is a strategy where a union negotiates with one company to establish terms that it hopes to replicate with other companies within the same sector.
