Canadian labor union Unifor struck the CAMI assembly plant operated by General Motors Co. in Ingersoll, Ont., at 11 p.m. last night after failing to reach agreement on a new contract for its 2,800 workers there.
The factory makes GM’s popular Chevrolet Equinox midsize crossover vehicle. Unifor workers at the facility operate on a separate contract from the agreement that applies to GM’s other plants in Canada.
The CAMI facility was opened in 1989 as a joint venture between GM and Suzuki Motor Co. Suzuki exited the partnership at the end of 2009 because its Sidekick XL7 crossover vehicle made there did not sell well.
