Oxford County knows the importance of auto industry jobs in our community. Council supported a motion by CAW Local 88 asking for Warden Don McKay to write to the federal government telling them the importance of keeping the auto industry in Canada and the need to develop a strategy to support, enhance and grow the sector. CAMI Plant Chairman Mike Van Boekel says Woodstock City Council is the only local governing body that has not shown their support for this initiative. "We have emailed them a few times, tried talking to them and they will not return our calls. It absolutely stuns me since it has nothing to do with unions what so ever it's just the importance of the auto industry and I mean CAMI is just in Oxford County just outside of Woodstock where a lot of our employees live and they have the entire Toyota plant and all of the spin off jobs that are related to it." The union has been making the rounds to local council meetings asking for support in writing to the federal government to implement a National Auto Policy. Van Boekel says one of the reasons North America isn't producing as many vehicles as they have in the past is due to a closed market. He says while we can sell import cars here, North American made vehicles are banned in Korea and Japan and he is hoping the federal government will step up and develop a fair trade deal with those countries.
