Canadian union leaders are eagerly awaiting details on a tentative deal reached between Fiat Chrysler and the United Auto Workers across the border.

With Canadian contracts expiring next year, Unifor officials say the UAW-FCA deal can be a guide for their negotiations.

Round-the-clock talks resulted in the tentative deal.

The terms are being kept under wraps until it’s ratified by their 40,000 workers.

But FCA chairman Sergio Marchionne has hinted at things like profit-sharing improvements, a new health care provider and the removal of the two-tier wage system.

Those are all details of interest to many on the Canadian side of the border.

Dino Chiodo, president of Unifor Local 444 says you can't negotiate big ticket items like a new health care provider overnight.

“With Marchionne talking about a health care provided, what that would look like, it’s basically not-for-profit and that’s what Greenshield is in Windsor, Ontario.”

The UAW contract may also improve profit-sharing. Chiodo says workers shouldn't expect to see that in a Canadian deal.

“We like to be guaranteed on what we'll be getting we've done things differently more after things like lump sum payments,” says Chiodo.

Unifor contracts expire on Sept. 24, 2016 - enough time for the union to make a decision about negotiations, says auto analyst Tony Faria.

“Is their goal going to be going after as much as they can get out of the contract for their workers or is their goal going to be how do we preserve jobs in Canada?” says Faria.

Faria believes Unifor needs to follow the UAW example and focus first on how to keep FCA profitable and then pay attention to getting the most for the members.
