The CAW tried to organize the Cambridge plant in 2001 but ultimately halted its effort after an adverse ruling from the labor board. Since the last vote, though, the government of Ontario has changed hands, passing from the control of the anti-union conservatives to a liberal government that in some measure depends on the continuing support of organized labor.

...as I said, here comes the 500 pound monkey.......

"Tanguay [President of Toyota Canada] told Cambridge workers they could expect to pay $2.45 million in union dues and reminded them that the plant is the only auto factory on Canada's top 100 places to work, according to Maclean's, a national magazine.

The CAW was approached to organize workers at Cambridge because of excessive overtime. Tanguay says no auto plant can operate without overtime and claims a union contract would provide less schedule flexibility for workers."
