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.
