USA PROTECTIONISM AFFECTING CONTRACT TALKS IN CANADA

When automakers are on the ropes, as General Motors and Fiat Chrysler were in 2009, governments spend billions to bail them out.

So it should come as no surprise that politics is in the air as GM, Chrysler and Ford begin contract talks with their unionized employees in Canada.

With the North American Free Trade Agreement under attack from both major candidates in the U.S. presidential election, these talks promise to be the most politicized in recent memory.
