Why are Canadian GM plants shutting down due to U.S. strikes? It would make sense that if anything it would provide more work opportunities in Canada. Also, what are these strikes over?

Ok, I caught the detail that those plants were dependant on parts made in the U.S. plants that are having the strikes, but what are the strikes over?

From what I gather its about job benefits and job security.

Most likely to put the money its costing them to keep the Canadian plants open, back into the U.S. plants. GM is a U.S. based company and relies on their U.S. employees. Shutting them down will create more money to negotiate demands from employees.

because GM are an evil company take that pick up truck issue when they discovered that their fuel tanks could blow up in a crash did they recall them NO! they decided that it would be cheaper to let an innocent person die and pay off their family instead of recalling the trucks GM are scum and i hope this strike cripples them
