AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)09/19 Report--
GM United States broke down negotiations with trade unions, causing nearly 50,000 workers across the United States to go on strike to demand higher pay, more job security and better benefits, bringing many GM plants to a standstill.
Foreign media continued to report today that GM plans to temporarily lay off 1200 workers at its final assembly plant in Oshava, Ontario, under the influence of the strike.
Production at the Oshava final assembly plant, which makes Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickup trucks, as well as Chevrolet Impala and Cadillac XTS sedans, was halved as a result of the strike, which halved production of the components needed.
GM has renegotiated with the unions on the issue since the strike began, but the two sides have not yet reached an agreement.
Since the 16th, the United Auto Workers (UAW) has called on nearly 46000 workers at GM plants to go on strike. The strike was caused by the lack of contracts between unions and companies, and the fact that GM closed two parts factories and two car plants without warning this year, which angered the unions.
The vice president of the union said the strike was the union's last resort, but it was necessary because the two sides disagreed on a new four-year contract, demanding higher pay, stronger job security and higher benefits.
GM responded with substantial offers, including higher wages and factory investment: an additional $7 billion in factory investment, directly adding 5400 new jobs, higher profit sharing, and leading health benefits in the country. and $8000 per person for contract change compensation.
Some analysts believe that if the strike leads to the suspension of production in North America, GM will face a daily loss of 400 million US dollars, while GM's factories in Canada and Mexico will also be affected, which will have a significant impact on the economy. It was GM's first strike since 2007 and the largest in the United States in 12 years.
