Workers at the Oshawa factory complete final assembly of previous-model Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra pickup trucks.

Members of Unifor Local 200 returned to work at Nemak for the 11 p.m. shift Sunday, ending the two-week-long strike. The plant supplies engine blocks to General Motors.

Unifor says the wildcat strike at Nemak, a subsidiary of Mexico-based Alfa, will continue until further notice. The decision flies in the face of Ontario Superior Court Justice Terrance Patterson, who on Friday fined the union C$75,000 ($56,000 USD).

Unifor officials at both the national and local level declined to say what they intend to do next, beyond reviewing the ruling at a meeting Saturday.  Union members walked off the job at Nemak in Windsor, Canada, on Labor Day, protesting the company's decision to close the plant.

Unifor President Jerry Dias accuses Nemak of not adhering to a collective agreement at the company's Canada plant, which supplies GM engine blocks. Union members stopped working on Labor Day because Nemak plans to close the factory in mid-2020.

The strike at the Canada plant that supplies engine blocks for the Chevrolet Silverado diesel pickup is now more than a week old. Unifor is trying to stage a 3,000-person rally Tuesday on a vacant lot adjacent to the plant, a union spokesman said.

Unifor members erected barricades and turned management away at the gate, effectively stopping production of engine blocks destined for GM vehicles. The protest is in response to Nemak's decision to close the plant in Windsor, Ont., in mid-2020.

Nemak couldn’t resume parts production at its plant in Windsor, Canada, on Wednesday night even though the Ontario Labour Relations Board earlier in the day ruled in favor of the Mexican company, saying a union blockade at the plant’s front gate was against the law.

A 17-month losing skid almost came to a halt as sales fell an estimated 0.1 percent.

"It makes sense to take production to where they are most efficient,”  said Álvaro Fernández, general director of Alfa. Work done at the Windsor plant will move to some other plant Nemak owns, he said.

FCA in March said it would end the third shift at the Windsor plant on Sept. 30 amid sluggish North American sales for the Chrysler Pacifica and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans it builds. The automaker has now extended the shift's life two times since that announcement.

Ford Canada's July sales fell 9.4 percent as even the F-series pickups took a hit. Nissan's volume fell 12 percent. But Toyota Canada’s sales jumped 17 percent on the back of the revamped RAV4.

Canadian police say 90 percent of the vehicles recovered during Project Baijin were newer-model high-end vehicles that were fraudulently financed and then had their VIN replaced.

A Montreal resident told the CBC he initially saw smoke coming from his garage, moments before an explosion rocked his home, blowing the garage door off its track and across the street.

Mike Borys begins his new role Aug. 12. He replaces Raj Juneja, who resigned from the dealership group in March.
