"Unifor Strikes at GM Facilities in Canada, Autoworkers Demand Contract Resolution"

Approximately 4,300 unionized workers at three General Motors (GM) facilities in Canada went on strike after contract negotiations failed to reach an agreement. The strike was initiated by Unifor, which accused GM of refusing to match the contract terms agreed upon with Ford Motor. The union cited issues related to pensions, income support for retired workers, and the transition of temporary workers into permanent positions. The strike adds to GM's challenges as it already faces losses due to an ongoing strike by the United Auto Workers in the United States. Unifor represents around 18,000 workers at Canadian facilities of GM, Ford, and Stellantis.
