This week our leadership continues bargaining in Toronto with General Motors to negotiate a new agreement.  As you know we are quickly approaching the strike deadline which is Wednesday 4th November at 11.59 pm. With only two days left we must continue preparations for the possibility a strike. Many of you have already signed up for picket duty.  The picket duty schedule is now posted at the exit of each clock house and on the Local 199 website.

IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE ALL KEEP WORKING, LET OUR LEADERSHIP DO THE JOB THEY ARE ELECTED TO DO.
