CAW seeks to unionize Toyota

The Canadian Auto Workers union has renewed its efforts to unionize Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada Inc. The initiative comes three years after a CAW campaign that nearly resulted in a vote at the Cambridge, ON plant, according to a report in The Globe and Mail. The CAW abandoned the effort when it became clear that the union did not have enough support. According to CAW officials, workers at the Toyota plant are growing increasingly concerned over a number of issues, such as an increase in the number of contract workers.
