WINGHAM— Unifor is intensifying efforts against Wescast Industries and its owner, Bohong Industries Group based in China, as the company continues to withhold approximately $10 million in termination and severance pay from 200 workers who lost their jobs at the Wingham, Ontario facility in July 2023.
Unifor members at the Viterra canola and soybean processing and refining plant in Bécancour, Q.C. are entering their tenth week on strike. Since the beginning of this conflict, the 85 members of Local 2022 have shown exemplary determination in the face of the employer's inadequate proposals.
The parties have continued to negotiate in the presence of a conciliator, but unfortunately the employer persists in making unacceptable offers and shows no real willingness to settle the dispute.
