Canadian Auto Workers

The head of the Canadian Auto Workers union says it has made no progress in talks with the Big 3 automakers as the countdown continues to a strike.

The CAW president has apparently re-joined the NDP for the purposes of endorsing Peggy Nash. He’d already signalled his support four months ago when Ms. Nash launched her campaign. Ms. Nash previously worked for the union as an assistant to Mr. Lewenza.

While Pat Martin invokes the Rapture, the president of the Canadian Auto Workers endorses an NDP-Liberal merger.

The CAW has picked 50 ridings. The Conservative are focused on 30.
