The union representing 2,500 striking workers at GM Canada's CAMI assembly plant in Ingersoll, says it has invited management to get talks rolling again in hopes of reaching a settlement.
But Dan Borthwick, president of Unifor Local 88, says its demand that the plant be designated the lead producer of the Chevrolet Equinox to ensure production and jobs aren't shifted to Mexico hasn't changed.
He says the union simply wants to see if there's a way to end to work stoppage sooner to head off negative effects on workers, suppliers and the community.
The effects of the strike that started Sunday are spreading with Magna International announcing it is suspending the supply of parts to the CAMI plant.
The parts maker says the decision affects the output at a few of its facilities in Ontario, but did not provide more details.
GM did not immediately respond to a request for comment. In a statement on Sunday, it said the two sides made progress on issues in recent weeks and encouraged Unifor to resume negotiations.
