GM staff temporarily halt production at Canadian plant
Monday, 9 June 2008
OTTAWA, June 8 (AFP): Unionized auto workers angry about job losses stepped up their ongoing protest against General Motors yesterday by shutting down a pickup assembly plant in the Canadian town of Oshawa, Ontario.
Workers formed a convoy of some 200 vehicles and drove around the plant at around 10 kilometers (six miles) an hour, preventing delivery trucks from entering the plant, the CBC reported.
Angry auto workers have been blocking the entrance to GM's Canadian headquarters to protest job cuts since Wednesday.
