Caterpillar Inc has decided to close its Electro-Motive locomotive plant in London, Ontario, and lay off at least 450 workers following several months of unsuccessful contract negotiations with the Canadian Auto Workers union.
The move deals a tough blow to the Canadian labor market, which has been under pressure from a strong Canadian dollar and the struggle to persuade unionized workers to accept deep concessions in a relatively stable economy.
Regards,
Don
