Ford union employees in Windsor refuse OT By Eric Mayne / The Detroit News
Hourly employees at Ford Motor Co.'s Windsor, Ontario, engine plant have unanimously voted to forgo lucrative overtime in an effort to force the automaker to recall laid-off workers.
Nearly 330 members of Canadian Auto Workers Local 200 are on layoff, and Ford had plans to idle 100 more workers next month. Those plans now are on hold, said Mike Vince, president of Local 200, which represents 5,000 workers at the engine complex.
"We're trying to get the company and some of our members off 12-hour workdays, seven days a week," Vince said.
