U.S. strikes against GM 'may very well' come to Canada in 2020, Unifor president says

"Canadian workers and American autoworkers feel the exact same way. They feel betrayed," Dias said in a phone interview.The union head pointed to plant cutbacks and closures on both sides of the border following pledges to maintain operations, and cited a "credibility problem."

GM Canada's Oshawa plant will see the vast majority of its 2,600 unionized employees laid off this year, though initial plans to close it were adjusted to save about 300 of those jobs for a parts operation. The letter dated Sunday suggests that the company and union are not as far apart as the rhetoric leading up to the strike had indicated.

GM said Sunday it offered pay raises and $7 billion worth of U.S. factory investments resulting in 5,400 new positions, a minority of which would be filled by existing employees. GM would not give a precise number. The company also said it offered higher profit sharing, "nationally leading" health benefits and an $8,000 payment to each worker upon ratification.

Thats it Jerry pick gm it went so well last time Maybe you can get st catherine's down to 100 workers

What are they going to strike against here? A majority of workers being laid off in an industry that's trying to change but is being held back by the unions?

Yeah, because Unifor hasn't done enough to drive the auto industry out of Canada. Might as well finish the job.
