Members of Unifor Local 200 met Sunday to ratify the company’s final offer. That means the plant closure plan is irreversible, says John D’Agnolo, Local 200 president. The roughly 160 unionized workers there have the option to leave now, or stay until the plant closes.

He says that workers voted 89 per cent in favour of the deal on Sunday.

Premier Doug Ford has said the provincial government will protest the closure by pulling Crown Royal off its shelves at the LCBO next year. The union urged the province to “fight like hell” to keep the plant open.

But D’Agnolo says he believes the closure was always a done deal.
