General Motors is reducing operations at its Oshawa Assembly Plant from three shifts to two, primarily influenced by U.S. tariffs and changing market demands. Unifor, the union for the workers, criticized this decision, stating it jeopardizes jobs and could impact the broader auto parts supply network. In response, GM mentioned that the shift is necessary to align with demand and to focus on producing more trucks for Canadian customers, assuring that they will aid employees during the transition.
We will not allow GM to barter Canadian jobs to gain Donald Trump's favour, said Unifor National President Lana Payne in a statement.
Cutting the third shift at Oshawa Assembly is a reckless decision that deals a direct blow to our members and threatens to ripple through the entire auto parts supplier network.
These changes will help support a sustainable manufacturing footprint as GM reorients the Oshawa plant to build more trucks in Canada for Canadian customers.
GM will work with our partners to support employees through the transition.
