While many Canadian autoworkers are up in arms over General Motors’ massive job cuts at Ontario plants (and abroad), there was also some good news for Canadian workers today. Daimler Chrysler , the only profitable ‘American’ automaker, said it would spend $768 million to upgrade two of its Ontario plants, according to the Globe and Mail. The Daimler investment will not likely mean direct new jobs in Canada, but will instead help secure long-term employment for the company’s existing 12,000 workers. The plants in Windsor and Brampton are now running three shifts a day and one industry source said the new investment will help secure at least two shifts a day over the next decade.
