Unifor Local 195 has filed a 'bad faith bargaining' application with the Ontario Labour Relations Board against Titan Tool & Die, claiming the employer has not attempted to resolve a lockout that started on August 11, 2025. The union's president, Emile Nabbout, stated that they believe their case is strong and had no other recourse but to escalate the matter to the labour board. The lockout affects 60 workers at the Howard Avenue plant, with 27 currently active and 33 laid off. Last October, the workers rejected a proposal that included a wage freeze, elimination of cost-of-living adjustments, and cuts to retiree benefits, among other concessions.
