GM, Unifor to resume talks aimed at ending 3-week-old strike at CAMI plant
INGERSOLL, Ont. — General Motors and the union representing about 2,500 striking workers at the CAMI assembly plant in Ingersoll, Ont., are expected to resume talks today aimed at ending a strike that’s into its fourth week.
The members of Unifor Local 88 walked off the job a little more than three weeks ago on Sept. 17 as union negotiators worked to have GM designate the CAMI plant as the lead producer of the Equinox SUV.
The union said last Thursday that the two sides had “worked through a lot of the contract language” but remained far apart on job security and economic issues.
Local 88 president Dan Borthwick says the union’s master bargaining committee took a break over the Thanksgiving weekend and met this morning.
