Boeing plant set to close

Article Abstract:

Boeing Co., a large aerospace company, is scheduled to shut down a 113-acre facility in Mississauga, Toronto, Ontario. The decision to phase out the facility would eliminate over 2,000 highly-skilled positions in the company. The plant is one of the biggest industrial employers in the region but is necessary since the company has a surplus of factories after acquiring McDonnell Douglas Corp. in 1997. The closure is indicative of Boeing's ability to select the premium facilities that it owns. The Canadian division's president, George Capern, admitted that the facility cannot be bailed out by Boeing since there is no other application for it.

Agreement freezes Boeing wages

Article Abstract:

The Canadian Auto Workers have agreed to freeze their wages for three years to keep Boeing Co. plant in Mississauga, Canada, open. According to Toronto, Ontario-area's president of operations, Steve Fisher, although they cannot ensure that the plant will remain open, the decision will allow the company to win more contracts. The closing of the plant will mainly be dependent on the decision by the plant's parent company in Seattle, WA. The 2,000 highly skilled aerospace workers in Mississauga hope to win more contracts from the parent company to keep the plant open.

Parts workers sit-in threat to chrysler

Article Abstract:

Workers at Johnson Controls Ltd's seat-cover plant in Bramalea, Ontario, staged a sit-in strike to protest recent layoffs and the management's plan to move 200 jobs to Juarez, Mexico. The plant, which has 250 workers on long-term layoff, laid off another 57 workers and offered early retirement packages to an additional 50 people. The sit-in protest can threaten the production of cars at Chryler Corp's car plant in Ontario if it continues.
