AJAX -- Workers from Lear Ajax have ratified a deal to bring new work to the empty plant in 2010. The plant, which closed its doors in May because it was no longer supplying seats for the General Motors Oshawa truck plant, is poised to start building again, this time for Chrysler.

As part of the deal, the plant will be working two shifts to supply seats for Chrysler models LX, LD and LC. The work is slated to start November 2010.

On July 20, 86 per cent of skilled trades members and 83 per cent of production workers voted to ratify the deal. The agreement is now subject to approval by regulatory authorities as part of Lear Corporation`s restructuring plan.

Canadian Auto Workers Local 1090 president Steve Batchelor said it seems like the union has been negotiating the deal forever.
