The ruling orders the union and its members, including president Jerry Dias, to cease and desist from engaging in, authorizing or counselling unlawful strikes

Unifor said in its response that it denied any violations of the law and that the cited incidents were discrete and resolved quickly.

GM’s allegations focused on several incidents where union members halted work or engaged in demonstrations, including on Nov. 26 when the company announced the closure and Jan. 9 when it confirmed it would not reconsider its decision. The ruling also covers actions by employees at auto parts suppliers Inteva and Lear, who temporarily walked off the job in separate actions protesting the GM Oshawa closure.

The union and the workers should be going after the Wynne and Trudeau govts. They knew this going to happen and didn't want to make it an election issue in the last Ontario election,

Yup

Like that is going to stop Jerry. Unbelievable

Oh no, but gm can walk away with billions from government bailout.

Give it up Unifor your days are numbered. You knew this was coming IN 2014. You are wasting your members money.

Most people knew the strike was illegal, you don't walk off the job after receiving a 12 month notice of the plant closing. It also was strange how some workers had no clue what was going on.

Does it really matter?

So was their doxing of replacement workers during another strike... what about those people who got death threats as a direct result of Unifor’s actions
