GM and Unifor ended a brief strike Tuesday afternoon, reaching a new tentative labour deal after nearly 4,300 Unifor automotive assembly workers walked off the job Tuesday morning in Woodstock, Oshawa and St. Catharines, Ont. Work resumed at the facilities this afternoon. (The Logic)

Talking point: The end of the short-lived strike is likely to prompt relief among North American automotive suppliers, as the labour action would have hamstrung plants across the continent that work on the Chevrolet Equinox, Corvette, Silverado and others. The union said the deal, which still must be ratified by members, squared away all the sticking points in the negotiations, including matching Ford Canada’s pensions and retirement benefits and giving temporary workers paths to permanent employment. About 25,000 U.S. autoworkers remain on strike against the Detroit automakers, including workers at 38 parts-distribution centres run by Stellantis and GM, and a GM plant in Michigan. But UAW workers scored a major victory last week after the automaker agreed to put its EV battery plants under its collective agreement.
