MATHYSSEN AND ARMSTRONG ANGERED AS COMMUNITY HIT WITH MORE JOB LOSSES
LONDON – Today Electro-Motive Diesel (EMD) has been shut down by its parent company Caterpillar Inc. The plant has been in operation in London since 1949.
LONDON –In an open letter to management, MP Irene Mathyssen (London-Fanshawe) calls the claims that massive cuts to the wages of workers in order to remain competitive "hollow" and "not supported by the facts", and calls on the company to return to the bargaining table in good faith to get a new contract in place.
To demonstrate the London plant is already competitive, Mathyssen points to a recent agreement between G.E. and its workers in the USA that settled on wages of $30 an hour.
