Midnight deadline looms in Fiat Chrysler, Unifor contract talks
In Canada, Unifor and Fiat Chrysler must reach an agreement by tonight at midnight in order to avoid a strike. The two parties met throughout the Canadian Thanksgiving weekend, but seem to be at odds when it comes to economic terms in their negotiations. The union has been pushing for further investment in Canadian plants. Unifor will be updating the media via twitter and media briefings this evening. These negotiations are significant because Unifor typically uses its agreement with the first of the three Detroit Three Automakers to set the tone for the remaining 2 automakers.
