Fatso Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 (edited) FCAU went down to 10 minutes before the strike deadline and then agreed to match GM`s offer to its Unifor represented employees along with future investment in the plants.Sergio was saying that "we cannot match GM,we are not as rich" and Unifor head Diaz responded "FCAU will match GM they just don't know it yet".All workers will be placed on a defined benefit pension plan plus receive $12,000 Canadian dollars in bonuses and lump sum payments over the life of the contract.With those kinds of results it is easy to see why the Canadians broke free from the UAW.Unifor does have a big advantage with public support in Canada something that goes in the companies favor here in the USA.Combine weak public support with open borders+ bad trade deals+ overzealous environmental regulations and a UAW union that repeatedly supports politicians who are in favor of all those policies and you can see why manufacturing jobs are disappearing in the USA.
