Canadian Union and GM Reach Tentative Agreement at Ingersoll Plant

Unifor and General Motors extend deadline to finalize deal, averting potential strike by over 1,300 workers.

Unifor Local 88 and General Motors have reached a tentative agreement for workers at the CAMI Assembly plant in Ingersoll, Ontario.
The agreement comes after an extended deadline and the threat of a strike, with 97% of Unifor Local 88 members voting in favor of strike action if no deal was reached.
Key issues addressed in the negotiations include wages, pensions, job security, and aligning future contract bargaining dates with other Detroit Three automakers.
Unifor's bargaining committee emphasized the need to support workers who faced significant downtime during the plant's transition to electric vehicle production.
The tentative deal aims to provide job and retirement security for the more than 1,300 workers at the CAMI plant.
