That answer is typical. But let me point out a few things. First, if Ford decided to pull the plant out of Oakville, what kind of backlash do you think would occur? Do you think the government, after helping the company for years, would stand by idly and accept their decision? Do you think Canadians would still buy their product?
And line up for my job? Not any more. That's where the new contract changed everything for new hirees. You don't get my pay(your max is 75% of mine) you don't get a pension and you get a lower base of medical coverage. Bet you didn't know that. Most don't. The max wage at our plant is now about $24/hr. How would you like to work there and have a guy doing the same job beside you getting $35?
It's not a case of being happy to have a job. It's a case of we gave and now it's your turn to give back.

TEAM PITA Don't settle for a wannabe, only accept the real deal.
One day I will rule the world. For now, I have to settle for this place.
