GM Canada Workers Strike at 3 Facilities After Contract Talks Stall

Unifor union workers went on strike at 3 GM facilities in Canada after contract talks ended without a deal.

Around 4,300 workers walked out at an assembly plant, engine plant, and parts center.

Unifor says GM is refusing to match the higher wages Ford agreed to in a recent deal.

The strike adds pressure on GM as it already faces a UAW strike in the U.S. costing millions per week.

Unifor uses "pattern bargaining", reaching a deal first with Ford then getting GM and Stellantis to match.
