Union walkouts to protest General Motors Co.’s plan to close its assembly plant in Oshawa, Ont., were unlawful, the Ontario Labor Relations Board has ruled.
The board further issued a cease-and-desist order against Canada’s Unifor union that bans any further such demonstrations over GM’s decision. GM announced in November that it would halt production at Oshawa by the end of this year, citing slumping demand for the cars built there.
The OLRB says Unifor condoned illegal strikes late last year and into early February at the GM factory and at unionized supplier plants operated Inteva and Lear.
