With Unifor Local 444 in Windsor, Ont., set to hold its strike authorization vote this weekend, UAW workers have voted overwhelmingly to give union leaders the authority to call strikes against Detroit car companies if a contract agreement isn’t reached.
The United Auto Workers (UAW) union said Friday that results are still being tallied, but so far 97 per cent have voted in favour of authorizing one or more strikes against Stellantis, General Motors and Ford.
Such votes are almost always approved by large margins.
Contracts between the union representing about 146,000 workers at Stellantis, General Motors and Ford expire at 11:59 p.m. on
