Unifor, Canada's biggest private-sector union, says it will delay next week's unionization vote at three Toyota Motor Corp. plants in Ontario, Reuters reports.
Unifor indicates it decided to withdraw its application for certification after Toyota said 7,500 workers about 1,000 more than the union expected would be eligible to vote. Some 3,000 workers at two Toyota factories in Cambridge and one in Woodstock have signed cards indicating they favor union representation.
The company adds that Canadian labor laws required it to give the union information about all its production and maintenance workers. Now Toyota wants that data returned, telling Reuters that Unifor's intent to use the information to pursue organizing efforts is a "serious privacy issue."
Unifor was formed last summer by a merger of the Canadian Auto Workers and Communications, Energy and Paperworkers unions.
