Officials with TG Waterville in Petrolia say negotiations are continuing after members of UAW Local 251 turned down the company’s latest contract offer.
Bill Pollock, National Representative for the union would say little about the ongoing labour talks but confirmed 85 per cent of the auto parts workers who voted rejected an offer from the company June 8.
Pollock declined to talk about the issues at the plant but conceded trade concerns are colouring all union negotiations in Canada.
Waterville’s Human Resources Manager, Tatiana Pasqual declined to discuss negotiations also but said they would continue despite the vote.
Upwards of 275 people work at the plant which produces automotive sealing systems.
