Workers in the metal industry at General Motors' (NYSE:GM) Brazilian facilities have made the decision to commence a strike beginning next Monday.
Their decision to strike stems from their objection to the recent workforce reductions implemented by the U.S.-based automaker in the region.
According to reports from the Sindmetal union, the strike is set to continue for an unspecified duration.
The strike announcement comes in the wake of GM's announcement to downsize its workforce across three factories situated in the Sao Paulo state, citing decreased sales and exports.
The Sindmetal union confirmed that the workers have voted to initiate a strike starting from Monday. Additionally,
the union reported that employees at the Sao Caetano do Sul and Mogi das Cruzes plants have also consented to taking similar actions.
"The plant will only resume production after the job cuts are canceled and job stability is guaranteed for everyone," the union said.
