Now that things are settled with Ford, Unifor turns to General Motors for a second round of negotiations on a new contract. Auto123 has the details.
Last week came a first agreement between Unifor, the union representing Canadian auto workers, and Ford. The agreement was ratified by the workers over the weekend. Now it's on to General Motors for its second negotiating blitz.
Unifor president Lana Payne said the union would be at the bargaining table with the company starting today. She expects GM to “follow the pattern set at Ford”.

Unifor also represents some 1,500 workers at GM's CAMI assembly plant in Ingersoll, Ontario, but those are under a different employment contract.
Payne doesn't expect negotiations to be easy, but she wants to make sure that Unifor is “best positioned to move this pattern forward”.
