Unifor has set Oct. 9 at 11:59 p.m. as the deadline for contract talks with General Motors
Negotiations between the union and the U.S. automaker resumed this week after workers at Ford Motor Co. of Canada voted to approve a new contract.
The GM talks cover around 43-hundred workers at the automaker's St. Catharines Powertrain Plant, Oshawa's Assembly Complex and the Woodstock Parts Distribution Centre.
Unifor is looking to use its agreement at Ford as a pattern agreement in its talks with GM and Stellantis.
The Ford deal included wage hikes, pension and benefit improvements.
