that was really fun to hear some hilarious and heartwarming Christmas stories.
Even the Prime Minister talked about Oakville Ford and Windsor Chrysler. Brampton Assembly is feeling like we are the ugly, ignored step child of FCA despite the fact that our cars are amazing quality. We build the Dodge Charger, the Dodge Challenger and the Chrysler 300. All of these vehicles have won awards. Despite that we are not hearing much of anything about our Plant.
Unifor seems to have forgotten that here at the FCA Assembly in Brampton Ontario are a part of this contract. Everyone is talking about Windsor losing the 3rd shift, but here at Brampton Assembly Plant we lost our third shift several years ago.
This is inexcusable in a society that supposedly ahead of the curve when it comes to mental health. Obviously, Ontario and the rest of Canada have a lot of work to do in this area.
I live in the USA and thankfully just found this podcast. I am looking forward to listening to people who were able to share a closer relationship with Mr McClain as his show was one of the highlights of my week and to this day many of us who listened feel as if a family member has been taken from us with out forewarning. Thank you for sharing his program and him.
