DaimlerChrysler Canada and the Canadian Auto Workers' (C.A.W.) union have agreed on the framework of a tentative contract that intends to bring new investment to the Windsor area, and addresses other key issues raised during 2002 collective bargaining. The economic offer is based on the pattern agreement reached with General Motors of Canada and subsequently adopted by Ford Motor Company of Canada. DaimlerChrysler Canada Chairman, President and CEO Ed Brust said that the agreement will create significant new employment in the Windsor area some time toward the end of 2005.
