Jobless Electro Motive Workers Await Their Fate

Several remain on the picket line this morning on Oxford Street East awaiting a final word by Parent Company Caterpillar. The plant announced its close to workers on Friday morning and that had CAW National President Ken Lewenza fuming calling for action from all levels of Government "we want a public inquiry from the beginning of the sale to the day of closure because it will recognize that this greedy, unethical, disrespectful, immoral company had no desire to get a collective a agreement and make a contribution to this community and the families that are negatively affected". Talks of a severance deal between the CAW and Caterpillar are scheduled for Tuesday. Meanwhile Progress Rail Services, a subsidiary of Caterpillar, held a job fair in Muncie Indiana where more than 4 thousand people lined up for a job. The company canceled the job fair early not expecting such a massive turnout. Several media were also turned away from the job fair by local Police including a CTV crew from London.
