Bombardier mfg. workers on strike
Mark Masluch, a spokesman for Bombardier, said the collective goal is to "swiftly reach a mutually beneficial agreement."
More than a thousand Bombardier aircraft assembly workers went on strike as of Jun. 23 after their union failed to reach an agreement with the company.
A Jun. 23 release from Unifor said 1,350 employees stopped work at the company’s aircraft manufacturing facility, based at Toronto’s Pearson International Airport, after the strike deadline expired at 11:59 p.m. on Jun. 22.
The union says negotiations with the employer continued through the night and late into the morning, noting bargaining talks are set to resume early on Jun. 24.
“The union’s bargaining committee members are working towards an agreement and both parties remain committed to continuing the bargaining process,” Unifor said.
Mark Masluch, a spokesman for Bombardier, said the collective goal is to “swiftly reach a mutually beneficial agreement.”
