Unifor’s decision to withdraw its application with the Ontario Labour Relations Board to represent workers at Toyota’s manufacturing facilities should not be viewed as a retreat but rather an attempt to bolster its chances of a successful unionization bid, according to Stephanie Ross, professor of work and labour studies at 91ŃÇÉ« and co-director of the Global Labour Research Centre. “There has been an enormous amount of effort that has gone into the Toyota [organization] drive, but also there is a lot at stake,” she said in Canadian Manufacturing April 4. .
