Toyota Motor Corp. workers in three assembly plants in Canada will vote next week on whether to be represented by Unifor.
The union was created last August by the merger of the Canadian Auto Workers and Communications, Energy and Paperworkers unions.
The CAW tried to organize Toyota facilities four years ago. The current drive is Unifor's first. The union says Toyota wages are comparable to those paid by General Motors, ford and Chrysler, but better job security for contract workers is a big issue.
A successful vote 50% of workers plus one would give the union more than 6,000 new members at Toyota's facilities at three facilities in Ontario: two in Cambridge and one in Woodstock.
Toyota's Canadian factories produce Toyota Corolla sedans, Matrix five-door hatchbacks, RAV4 small crossovers and Lexus RX 350 luxury crossovers. The Woodstock plant is preparing to launch production of the Lexus RX 450h hybrid crossover this spring.
