Round 2 of Canadian auto talks start today between Unifor and Fiat-Chrysler
TORONTO — Fiat-Chrysler goes on the hot seat today as it sits down to negotiate a new contract with its Canadian unionized workforce.
The start of talks follows on the heels of workers at General Motors accepting a new contract.
Unifor, which represents workers at the Detroit Three in Canada, calls the GM deal a major breakthrough, and says it will be used as a basis for negotiations with both Fiat-Chrysler and Ford.
Unifor president Jerry Dias hailed the contract as “historic” — and the best deal the union has struck with one of the auto giants in the past decade.
