TORONTO (Reuters) - Workers at Bombardier Inc's de Havilland plane-making subsidiary could be out on the picket line Tuesday if last-minute contract talks with the company fail to result in an agreement.
The Canadian Auto Workers union, which represents about 2,750 production, skilled trades and office workers at the de Havilland plant in Toronto, said on Monday that an agreement before the strike deadline of 10 a.m. (1400 GMT) on Tuesday seemed "increasingly unlikely".
Bombardier makes its Q400 turboprop aircraft at de Havilland.
The union said key sticking points included the company's stance on retiree benefits and the use of temporary workers.
Representatives of Montreal-based Bombardier were not immediately available for comment.
