Collateral Damage: GM Lays Off 1200 Canadian Workers Due To UAW Strike

General Motors said on Wednesday it plans to temporarily lay off about 1,200 workers at its plant in Oshawa, Ontario, which performs final assembly of the Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra pickup trucks.

The Oshawa plant ran out of parts for the pickups on Tuesday due to the UAW's strike against the automaker in the U.S. Workers at Oshawa are presented by Unifor.
