Impact in the U.S. Outside of Canada, an extended strike by the CAW could ripple and hinder production by Detroit's Big Three in the U.S. The last CAW strike against GM in 1996 lasted three weeks. Ford, for example, builds V-8 and V-10 engines at its Windsor and Essex engine plants. Those engines power such U.S.-made vehicles as the E-Series vans, F-150 pickups, Expedition and Navigator SUVs, and F-450 and F-550 chassis cabs. Ford may be helped by the fact that 44 percent of F-150s sold in the U.S. are now equipped with a V-6 EcoBoost engine instead of V-8 engines made in Canada.

If the CAW strikes, they could cost KTP production. Is this why KTP is ramping up even more on production at this time?

I hope the CAW stands stronger than we did...
