Deals in Canada slow the jobs bleeding: But rebound prospects are questioned

摘要

The roughly $900 million Canadian in investment commitments that Unifor has secured from the Detroit 3 thus far might not be enough to fully reverse the long-term trend of auto manufacturing jobs leaving Canada, labor experts say. Tony Faria, co-director of auto-motive and vehicle research at the University of Windsor in Ontario, said that while the Canadian union has done "an exceptional job" in securing existing jobs at General Motors and Fiat Chrysler, the contracts they forged fall short of making the country as a whole more attractive to automakers.
