Chevrolet Silverado Production Resumes in Canada After Short Strike at GM

General Motors has reached a tentative agreement with Unifor to continue Chevrolet Silverado production in Canada. Earlier this week, the union went on strike for a brief period at three GM facilities, including the Oshawa Assembly plant responsible for manufacturing the popular and profitable pickup truck.

Unifor had authorized the strike after GM refused to “meet the pattern agreement,” as stated by Lana Payne, the union’s national president. This strike followed an agreement between Unifor and Ford of Canada, which offered wage increases of up to 25 percent in the country. Now, GM is also following suit.
