“The decision announced today that U.S. Caterpillar Corporation will close its Electro-Motive plant in London instead of negotiating with the Canadian Autoworkers Union requires an immediate response from the Canadian and Ontario governments.” That statement from Dave Coles, President of the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers Union of Canada (CEP).
“This decision is a slap in the face to Canada which gave Electro-Motive tax breaks to protect jobs,” continues Coles.
