PLATTSVILLE, ON—Unifor members at the Saint-Gobain plant in Plattsville, Ontario began strike action on July 24, 2026, after the company failed to make a fair offer.

“Our hard-working members at Saint-Gobain have the full support of Unifor members across the country in their fight for a contract that reflects their contributions to the company,” said Unifor National President Lana Payne.

Members voted 97% in favour of strike action if a new collective agreement could not be reached. Key bargaining issues include pensions and wages.

The 40 members of Unifor Local 12 manufacture high-performance abrasive products at the Saint-Gobain facility.

“Our members are seeking a decent wage to support themselves, their families and their communities along with a secure pension for their future,“ said Kim Davidson President of Unifor Local 12. “We encourage the company to return to the table to negotiate a resolution to this strike.”
