CORRECTION: The CAW will not be participating in tonight's rally. Unions from outside Oxford County are taking an interest in a key decision in Ingersoll tonight. Town Council is expected to make a decision on whether or not to purchase at backhoe built by Caterpillar, after the company closed a train plant in London. Unionized workers from OPSEU will be holding a rally at 5 o'clock outside of town hall prior to the meeting. Steward of OPSEU Local 164 in London, Walter Hohman says after years of plant closures in the region, unions are putting their foot down. "You have to start mobilizing some where. Some one has to stand up and say 'no' and I think that the reason we've teamed up with Ingersoll against CAT, from OPSEU, from the CAW; I think that all of these bad incidences have finally reached a breaking point". Town Council is caught between a rock and a hard place, as the CAT backhoe was the lowest bid on a tender. That company put 16 people from Ingersoll out of a job when they closed the Electro Motive plant in London last month.
