First they came after the Chrysler workers, renegotiated the contracts to lower costs,filed bankruptcy, then they went after GM workers, lowered costs, probably filing for bankruptcy, and now, Ford has lined up to the trough to syphon off costs. Ford, of all companies, the one who said they didn't need any government loans. But now, a company spokesperson has said that operations are at risk unless the automaker can secure further concessions from the workers.

“In order to maintain our automotive manufacturing presence in Canada we need to take action to improve our competitiveness and we can’t wait until 2012 when it could be too late to close that gap

said Kerri Stoakley.

Interesting turn of events,for a company that said it was still viable, it seems that what the others got was too good to pass up.
