CAW Local 200 along with Local 444 & Local 1973 are sponsoring the "Buy Domestic Campaign".

The goal of the campaign is to educate the public and the business community about protecting one of Canada's most important economic assets, the auto industry. The program is about creating a new auto strategy for Canada and to make the public aware of the advantages of buying domestic versus imported products.

If Canadian workers are not employed, they don't have money to spend. This, in turn, creates more job loss which reduces the amount of money all levels of government collect in taxes. As we all realize, less tax dollars means that there will be cuts in services and higher taxes for those still employed.

This is the reality of what is to come if the people of Canada and our government do not support our own before looking off shore for goods and services.

Please support the CAW Local 200 effort to raise awareness to our impending economic plight. We believe that we can avoid serious economic damage if we begin supporting our neighbors across the country. Considering the fact that our automobile industry has been fuelling our economy for many years, it is an excellent example of how our hard earned dollars can either stay in the country or be exported to the head offices of the off shore producers who spend that money to pay for materials and labour in their country.  Let's take care of our own or we may not have much of an economic future to pass on to our children.
