"Worker Strikes Rock General Motors in Canada"

General Motors has reached a tentative agreement with Canadian union Unifor, ending strikes involving 4,300 workers at three facilities. The agreement includes wage hikes of up to 25% and addresses issues such as pensions and converting temporary workers into permanent employees. The strike threatened GM's full-size truck production. Work will resume at all three facilities, and the deal recognizes the contributions of employees with significant increases in wages, benefits, and job security. Unifor had set a deadline after earlier agreements with GM expired.

Hollywood Unites in Toronto to Fight Corporate Greed for SAG-AFTRA and Writers Guild

Around 300 Canadian union members rallied outside the Toronto offices of Amazon and Apple in support of the ongoing SAG-AFTRA and Writers Guild of America strikes in the US. The rally, organized by ACTRA, the Canadian actors union, aimed to address corporate greed and an economic system that rewards cost-cutting at the expense of workers. The actors and writers strikes are part of a larger labor movement seeking fair wages and workplace protections. ACTRA's own contract with North American producers is set to expire in 2024, requiring renewal talks. The rally emphasized the need for unity among North American unions and solidarity in the fight for better working conditions.
