Canadian union Unifor and Ford are approaching an 11:59 p.m. ET Tuesday deadline to reach an agreement for roughly 5,600 autoworkers before a strike could occur.
Unifor, whose auto members were part of the UAW until a split in the mid-1980s, confirmed talks are ongoing after they continued past the deadline into Tuesday morning.If a prolonged Canadian strike occurs, the work stoppage could eventually impact U.S. production of the vehicles. The breadth of the effect depends on Ford's engine stock and how much the company would want to focus on non-V8 gasoline engine models.
"We will continue to work collaboratively with Unifor to create a blueprint for the automotive industry that supports a vibrant and sustainable future in Canada," FordUnifor, which represents 18,000 Canadian workers at the Detroit automakers, took a more traditional approach to its negotiations than its U.S. counterpart did.
Spokespeople with Ford and Unifor declined to comment on details of the company's proposal that caused the union to agree to extending the deadline.
