I saw this in another community but it impacts locals in the Windsor area. I'm sorry to see these workers loser their jobs.

200 jobs lost in a city the size of Amherstburg is significant too.

According to the article: "Diageo said it will engage with the community and find ways to support its employees through the transition, and work alongside Unifor to assist unionized workers."

I wonder what support they mean -- actual support, or a corporate "damn that sucks for you" support.
