Ford Motor Company of Canada Ltd's chief negotiator Don McKenzie is unwilling to guarantee the security over 2,000 jobs at the automaker's iron casting plant in Windsor, Ontario, Canada, and engine plant in Essex, Ontario, Canada. The two plants' future is uncertain as the Windsor plant is at risk of becoming obsolete with the transition to lightweight materials, while the Essex plant is expected to have no more work to do in 2002. The Canadian Auto Workers' (CAW) three-year labor agreement with Ford, General Motors of Canada Ld and DaimlerChrysler Canada Inc is set to expire on Sept 21, 1999.
