The auto industry in Canada is back on solid ground and has a strong future, thanks in large part to Unifor, and a federal government that recognizes the importance of the industry, Unifor National President Jerry Dias said at the Toronto Auto Show today.

In one week, Unifor will begin its first-ever round of bargaining with the Detroit Three automakers in what may be the most important round of bargaining to take place in the sector in more than a generation.
When I and representatives from each of the Unifor bargaining units at the Detroit Three automakers sit down with the companies to formally open negotiations on August 10 and 11, we will have one clear and simple message for them.
GM Canada has announced plans to hire up to 750 engineers over the next two years, increasing its Canadian Research and Development staff to about 1,000. Unifor, representing 23,000 auto workers, calls the creation of new R&D jobs a positive step.
