About 4,300 unionized workers went on strike at three General Motors plants in Canada Tuesday, boosting pressure on the automaker grappling with a U.S. union work stoppage now in its fourth week.
The walkout by workers came after Canadian union Unifor said GM was "stubbornly refusing" to match the contract the labor union reached with Ford Motor, which offered wage increases of up to 25% in Canada.
GM said it would continue talks with Unifor. The walkout adds to the headache faced by the automaker in the U.S. where it is racking up millions of dollars in losses per week due to the United Auto Workers strike that started Sept. 15. Unifor said it would go on strike at GM's Oshawa assembly complex, St. Catharines powertrain plant and the Woodstock parts distribution center, but members at the CAMI Assembly Plant in Ingersoll, Ontario, will work as they are covered by a separate agreement.
