A Unifor strike at Ford Motor Co. of Canada plants in Ontario would have serious repercussions for the automaker’s wider North American supply chain, particularly for output of Ford’s best-selling pickups, according to U.S.-based auto analyst Sam Fiorani.
“Twenty-nine per cent of F-Series trucks built in North America get an engine that’s built in Canada,” said Fiorani, vice-president of global vehicle forecasting at AutoForecast Solutions.
Because the Canadian plants are the only sites that build those two engines, the prospect of shutting down production creates significant leverage for Unifor, he added. Unifor’s contract with Ford was poised to expire at 11:59 p.m. yesterday, but the union extended the deadline 24 hours after receiving a last-minute offer from the company it described as “substantive.”
