Electro Motive workers in London are taking the deal. The 465 workers overwhelmingly ratified a severance agreement today by 95 per cent. The workers will get three weeks pay for each year worked at the train plant, plus a $1,500 signing bonus as well as future retraining opportunities. As CAW Local 27 Recording Secretary Jim Kennedy tells Heart FM, the CAW will see the workers through to the next stage of their lives. "Part of our deal is an Action Centre, so we'll establish an Action Centre here at the local and we'll be running programs for the workers. Second career opportunities, that kind of thing. We have workshops tomorrow already scheduled for financial planning." The CAW had promised to continue to block the plant until a deal was reached. Following the ratification this afternoon, the site of the ongoing strike for the last 2-months had cleared out. (On right)
