An internal memo from Wescast Industries obtained by Unifor says the Wingham foundry’s overseas owners will not close the facility, a claim the union says is dubious.
The May 30th document attributed to their North American Business Unit was circulated to workers.
It was prepared in response to the union’s condemnation of the company’s decision to close the foundry.
Unifor says it contains numerous unclear statements about its intentions and fails to address their members concerns about plans to close the facility.
Unifor Local 4207 members met last weekend to discuss their frustration with the situation and ways to engage the public.
The collective agreement between Unifor and Wescast expires at the end of June and both are set to enter contract talks this month.
