At least five autoworkers test positive for COVID-19 at Windsor, Ontario Fiat-Chrysler plant
At least five cases of COVID-19 were announced last week at the Fiat-Chrysler Windsor Assembly Plant in Ontario, just across the border from Detroit, after a complaint by an employee was registered with the provincial Ministry of Labour. The ministry is still investigating the matter and has released no further information. The ministry did not notify the regional health authority about the complaint when it was initially received.
The autoworker who filed the complaint acted due to widespread concern on the shop floor that FCA management has been concealing reports about infections from the 4,500-strong workforce. Despite the silence in early December by both the company and Unifor officials on infections, workers shared information among themselves about the growing danger.
