More than 300 workers at Windsor's Jamieson Laboratories are on strike.
Unifor Local 195, which represents the workers, said the strike began at midnight Thursday after the employees rejected the employer's latest offer.
The union said the major issues include wages, benefits and job security.
The 317 striking workers include those who manufacture vitamins, and work in packaging and the company's warehouse.
"Despite extensive discussions, the employer's offer failed to meet the expectations and needs of the membership," the union said in a media release.
"The union emphasized the importance of reaching an agreement that upholds the livelihoods and well-being of their members."
