Great Job by C.A.W.

Yesterday's tentative agreement with Ford Canada is "a good agreement for tough times," says Buzz Hargrove, head of the Canadian Auto Workers union. But he predicted those tough times are going to get worse in the auto sector


Average wages for assemblers will now be $34.14/hour ($71,000/yr). Pension will be $3335/month ($40,000/yr) and a lump sum of $70,000 on retirement. Skilled Trades get over $40/hr to boot.

WTF overpaid.

Become a mechanic... mechanical engineering is for people who don't try hard in school.

I'm sure Subsidized wanted a job there because the walls were freshly painted and they just trimmed the hedges outside

Never mind that. Its like a jail in that plant. The only plus to it is that you can get the employee discount.
