CAW aims to hold its own in negotiations - By MICHAEL ELLIS, Detroit Free Press
Even with Detroit automakers struggling with soaring costs, the Canadian Auto Workers union is in no mood to give up any ground in upcoming contract negotiations.
The Canadian Auto Workers union celebrates its 20th anniversary next week when it holds its Collective Bargaining & Political Action Convention in Toronto. The convention traditionally sets the tone for the contract talks with the former Big Three automakers, whose current three-year pact with the union expires in September.
