The new attempted agreement covers almost 4,300 autoworkers at GM’s Oshawa assembly plant, St. Catharines propulsion plant, and Woodstock parts distribution center.
Unifor says strike actions that began at midnight are on hold to allow the membership to vote on the attempted agreement.
GM Canada president Marissa West says in a statement the agreement recognizes the many contributions of team members with significant increases in wages, benefits and job security.
The company says it expects work to resume at its three facilities this afternoon.
