| Mills Pontiac closes its doors |
| Wednesday, June 11, 2008 |
By Jessica Verge The Oshawa Express With workers on strike for nearly a month, Mills Pontiac Buick GMC has temporary closed its doors. Some 60 workers in the service, parts and body shop departments walked off the job May 16. Now the dealership has moved their cars off the lot and drawn the blinds with a message on their answering machine chalking it up to a labour interruption. “I’m not overly worried about it,” says Kevin Kent, Canadian Auto Workers union chairperson, adding that he believes the closure is intended, in part, to make the union bend but says it only makes them stronger. Kent says CAW is still interested in returning to the bargaining table, where issues involving wages and cost of living were being negotiated. |
In a previous interview with The Oshawa Express, Mills Pontiac general manager said the parties had reached consensus on a number of issues but the union rejected the company’s offer. |
