Unifor’s strike actions against GM over Oshawa plant closure were against the law, labour board rules

The ruling orders the union and its members, including president Jerry Dias, to cease and desist from engaging in, authorizing or counselling unlawful strikes

Unifor said in its response that it denied any violations of the law and that the cited incidents were discrete and resolved quickly.

GM’s allegations focused on several incidents where union members halted work or engaged in demonstrations, including on Nov. 26 when the company announced the closure and Jan. 9 when it confirmed it would not reconsider its decision. The ruling also covers actions by employees at auto parts suppliers Inteva and Lear, who temporarily walked off the job in separate actions protesting the GM Oshawa closure.
