OSHAWA, Ontario (AP) - A Canadian Auto Workers official leading protests against General Motors Corp.'s closing of a truck plant says the union is ending a blockade of GM's Canadian headquarters in Oshawa, Ontario.
CAW Local 222 President Chris Buckley says his union will obey an injunction ordering the lifting of the blockade by 7 a.m. Monday.
But Buckley says the battle is 'far from over' and people should 'stay tuned' for more union actions.
The blockade began June 4 after the Detroit-based automaker announced plans to shut its Oshawa truck plant, eliminating 2,600 jobs.
GM says the decision to close four North American plants followed a sudden collapse in the U.S. market for pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles.
