Unifor applying to Ontario Labour Relations Board to become official bargaining agent for Toyota employees
Toyota employees in both Woodstock and Cambridge are hearing the announcement today that Unifor has filed to become a certified bargaining agent for the plant's workers.
The move opens the door for employees to become certified unionized members.
Tony Faria at the University of Windsor's Odette School of Business says Toyota has been very clear that it prefers a non-union environment for it's workers. "At this point in time all of Toyota's Manufacturing plants in North America are non-unionized and that is the way Toyota prefers it and comments made by top management of Toyota Canada have also been clear they do not see any need for a union at their plant."
In the coming days, the next step will see the Ontario Labour Relations Board informing Unifor as to when when an official vote will take place, which Faria says is anticipated sometime within the the next seven days.
Unifor President, Jerry Dias made the announcement shortly after 10:00 am Monday morning in Kitchener. The results of the Woodstock and Cambridge votes should be known within the week following the voting period.
