Workers at General Motors Co.'s CAMI auto plant in Ingersoll, Ontario, have overwhelmingly approved a four-year labor contract.
Canada's Unifor union says the pact carried by a 9:1 margin. The deal will pay each of the 2,700 workers at the plant a signing bonus of C$3,000 ($2,900) and annual lump-sum payments of $2,000 ($1,900) each in 2014, 2015 and 2016.
The agreement also creates about 300 full-time jobs for about 300 temporary workers at the CAMI facility, which builds the Chevrolet Equinox crossover.
The CAMI plant operates under a separate Unifor contract from other GM Canadian plants whose workers are represented by the union. Those facilities are covered by a similar four-year agreement reached last year.
