Canadian workers’ union Unifor said on Sunday that 1,350 of its members are on strike at jet-maker Bombardier’s facilities after the two sides were unable reach a tentative agreement before the Saturday deadline.
The union’s bargaining committee members are working toward an agreement, and both parties remain committed to continuing the bargaining process, Unifor said in a statement.
“Bombardier is continuing to negotiate with all parties,” company spokesperson Mark Masluch said in an emailed statement to Reuters, adding that the goal remains to “swiftly reach a mutually beneficial agreement.”
Negotiations continued throughout Saturday night, Unifor said, with both parties agreeing to resume discussions early Monday morning.
Unifor, a general trade union, did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment on the details of the strike, while Bombardier declined to comment on the same.
This follows a similar strike by Unifor in July 2021 at Bombardier’s Toronto business jet assembly plant, which lasted a week before a three-year collective agreement was ratified, including wage increases and higher monthly pension benefits.
