Canadian union Unifor says “little progress” has been made to end the strike it began on Sept. 17 against General Motors Co.’s CAMI assembly plant in Ingersoll, Ont.

GM is resisting the union’s demand that it designate its CAMI facility the lead plant for production of hot-selling Chevrolet Equinox crossover vehicles. Doing so would make the factory first to be assigned additional Equinox production and the last to face cutbacks.

Unifor reiterated its demand last week. GM responded on Friday, but the union says the company “did not address our issues.”

Most output of the popular SUV occurs at CAMI. But last summer GM began building the Equinox and its GMC Terrain variant at two factories in Mexico. The move eliminated about 400 jobs at the Canadian facility.
