(Reuters) - Canadian labour union Unifor said on Thursday it has returned to the bargaining table with Magna International (TSX:MG) (NYSE:MGA) after workers staged a walkout at the auto parts supplier's Integram seat manufacturing facility in Windsor.

Unifor members at the facility had launched a strike on Wednesday after Magna was unable to reach a tentative deal before the strike deadline of Nov. 7.

Unions are taking advantage of a tight labour market to push for higher pay and better working conditions in their talks for new labour agreements.

Magna's Integram plant manufactures seating for vehicles at Stellantis (NYSE:STLA)' Windsor assembly plant as well as other Detroit Three plants in the United States.

Magna did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.

Unifor members at the Integram facility had previously voted 99% in favour of strike action.
