From CTV News London –
The automotive sector is rallying together to battle the impact of U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs.
Despite a 27-day reprieve announced Thursday afternoon, union leaders, including the head of Unifor, met for an emergency meeting at a London hotel the very same day.
The meeting took place as a last-minute exemption kept cars and car parts moving – for now.
The meeting in London had 150 union leaders, including some from Ford and Stellantis plants in Ontario, alongside GM CAMI in Ingersoll putting their heads together.
“There’s a lot of anxiety, a lot of phone calls, and a lot of stress on young families,” said Unifor CAMI Plant Chairperson Mike Van Boekel. “Especially when you’re trying to raise kids and everything else and you’re not sure if your paycheque is going to keep rolling or not. So, it’s a difficult time right now.”
