The 75 members of Unifor Local 2011 have been on strike since April 29. Although most labour disputes revolve around monetary issues, the main issue is the extremely difficult labour relations.
With their collective agreement up for renewal for the first time, the local’s members are frustrated with the employer’s lack of respect for the labour contract and opposition to all grievances.
Despite several conciliation meetings, talks are at a standstill. Unifor is calling for a return to the bargaining table.
