The two sides in the strike at the CAMI plant in Ingersoll are, according to Unifor, still far apart on matters surrounding job security and economics.
An update provided to workers from Unifor Local 88 says the bargaining committee is awaiting a response from General Motors on these outstanding issues.
"The Master Bargaining Committee, along with our Unifor National Representatives, have been meeting with the Company daily since September 27, 2017. We have worked through a lot of the Contract Language during this period," the statement says.
The two sides have decided to take a Thanksgiving weekend break from the bargaining table and will meet on Tuesday for a status update.
The roughly 2,800 workers at CAMI walked off the job on September 17. Job security is the main sticking point in the labour dispute. The union has been asking for a letter guaranteeing production of the Chevrolet Equinox crossover vehicle will not be shifted to another plant. Earlier this year, GM shifted production of the Terrain sport utility vehicle to Mexico, costing hundreds of positions at CAMI.
