Aug 22 (Reuters) – Canadian union Unifor said on Saturday it reached tentative agreements with General Motors on behalf of 4,600 members in Ontario.

Here are some details:

• The agreements cover members of the Oshawa Assembly Plant, CAMI Assembly Plant in Ingersoll, and worksites in St. Catharines and Woodstock, Unifor said.

• Unifor National President Lana Payne said the agreements deliver strong income and benefit gains.

• Talks between Unifor and General Motors began earlier this month, following the ratification of a deal with Ford that included wage gains of 3% in each year of the three-year contract.

• The union said ratification meetings will take place on August 29 and 30.
