EMD Closure a Blow for Ontario Jobs and Economy

Submitted by Rebecca Harrison on Fri, 2012-02-03 12:48

LONDON, ONTARIO -- The Green Parties of Canada (GPC) and Ontario (GPO) are calling on government officials to contact Caterpillar/Electro-Motive Diesel (EMD) to encourage them to reconsider closure of their London facility.

“It’s outrageous that a company with record profits of $4.9 billion dollars would bully its workers into accepting a 50% wage cut, lock them out and then close the plant a month later,” says GPO leader Mike Schreiner who attended last week’s rally to support the locked out workers.

Ontario’s solar industry is at risk.

And the Liberal government is missing in action while local solar entrepreneurs struggle to stay in business.

The Green Party of Ontario is demanding the government take steps to fix the problem.

The Ontario Clean Air Alliance (OCAA) commissioned one of the province’s top economic forecasting firms — Spatial Economics — to look at what increasing the efficiency of natural gas use would do for our collective bottom line. It found that a 16 per cent reduction in our natural gas consumption by 2021 would increase GDP by $5.5 billion and reduce the combined federal and provincial deficits by $975 million. And it would do that while creating more than 33,800 new jobs and lowering the cost of doing business in Ontario.

I get paid to save electricity every month. That’s right, I get paid to save energy on my electricity bill every month.

This is not a gimmick. Toronto based start up Lowfoot has a sophisticated software program that uses your smart meter to measure your energy use and pays you for saving energy.
