Just a few days ago it looked like the CAW would suspend contract talks with General Motors until later this summer, but CAW president Buzz Hargrove has announced that a tentative agreement has been reached after a meeting that lasted through the night. The CAW also announced a similar deal has been agreed upon with Chrysler.
GM confirmed the deal with the CAW earlier this morning, according to Automotive News.
It is expected that Chrysler will announce its deal with the CAW before day’s end. “We have an agreement in principle on all the outstanding issues,” Hargrove said of the Chrysler agreement. “Our people are working on the language.”
Both deals are expected to mirror the ratified three year agreement with Ford, which omitted a two-tier wage system but included further buyout plans.
Ford’s contract with the CAW covers about 9,000 workers, with the GM and Chrysler deals affecting another 23,000 Canadian workers.

Apparently the CAW is smarter than their UAW brothers in the U.S.

The CAW wasn’t gonna fall for the same bs the UAW fell for, and a national healthcare system helps on cost too.

I want to hear what faggy cannuck has to say. I love reading his insightfull opinions just as much as he loves posting them, and then returning back to see if there has been any possitive agreeable comments about what he said, that way he can feel good about himself while he eats the kraft dinner his over weight wife made for him.

Now the whole nation has to pay for health care of UAW so they can have same deal as CAW? Hillary will deliver that along with other socialized niceties.
moto-racer13 insulting each is other is somewhat socially acceptable here, but going after each other family is cowardly. You can do this only because you would not have balls to insult straight guy that to his face. Typical homosexual behavior – back to the closet.

oh believe me I’m not afraid to fight, after a few beers I just go psycho. I’m honestly amazed I have no criminal record. I just have no respect for guys with overweight wives. Its just so pathetic.

Even gangsters left families outside of squabbles. Going psycho does not have help in fight: anyone who did any service to his country will enlighten you on the subject. Between real men there certain taboos: family is definitely a taboo. Please don’t go there.

Moto is a little B!**H anyway. Why the hell would you come on here and try and act like you’re going to fight someone you know you never will. Sounds kind of cowardly you little fag. I hope Johnnycanuck is some big canadian mounty mofo, kind of like the canadian version of the Brawny man on the paper towel rolls.
