June 23 (Reuters) - Canadian workers' union Unifor said

on Sunday that 1,350 of its members are on strike at jet-maker

Bombardier's facilities after the two sides were

unable reach a tentative agreement before the Saturday deadline.

The union's bargaining committee members are working towards

an agreement and both parties remain committed to continuing the

bargaining process, Unifor said in a statement.

"Bombardier is continuing to negotiate with all parties,"

company spokesman Mark Masluch said in an emailed statement to

Reuters, adding that the goal remains to "swiftly reach a

mutually beneficial agreement".

Negotiations continued throughout Saturday night, Unifor

said, with both parties agreeing to resume discussions early

Monday morning.

Unifor, a general trade union, did not immediately respond

to a Reuters request for comment on the details of the strike

while Bombardier declined to comment on the same.

This follows a similar strike by Unifor in July 2021 at

Bombardier's Toronto business jet assembly plant, which lasted a

week before a three-year collective agreement was ratified,

including wage increases and higher monthly pension benefits.
