Brothers & Sisters,

As the pandemic in North America, specifically in Ontario, is rapidly changing, our federal and provincial governments are quickly putting in new measures and policies to protect the public. During these uncertain and unprecedented times, people everywhere are desperate for answers, your Local leadership recognizes that our membership is no different.

To address your concerns, we have been in constant meetings with Oakville Assembly Plant management, continue to be part of high-level meetings with our National Union and the Ford Motor Company of Canada. Our concerns are focused on the health and safety of our members and the economic impact of the COVID-19 virus. When information is clear and accurate about our concerns, I will post the required information on our website. Therefore, I would ask that you continue to periodically check our website during the company shutdown.

In Solidarity,

Mark Sciberras

President, Unifor Local 707
