Union leader Voravudh Potisoonthorn told the Bangkok Post that the production line, which has been shut since Monday, normally rolls out 160 pickup trucks each day.

He said around 700 unionised workers have gone on strike.


GM Thailand said the union’s demands include incentive-based payments, company’s support for union activities, and for the automaker to cover the costs and damages resulting from the strike.
