Ontario is investing $955,000 to help laid-off automotive industry workers find their footing and a new employment.
The investment will go to a new action centre that will support 3,752 laid-off workers from various individual parts suppliers in Windsor-Essex and Chatham-Kent.
“We stand with the workers and families that are impacted by these layoffs,” says David Piccini, minister of labour, immigration, training and skills development. “Ontario’s automotive industry is the engine that drives our economy, and we’re making sure no worker is left behind as the industry transitions into the future. The new Unifor Windsor-Chatham action centre will help workers get back on their feet quickly and get the services and training they need to be successful in their next job.”
